“
This ends now. You had no right to change the date without consulting me first.”
“Enough with the dramatics. I get it. You don’t want to marry me in June. We’ll move it. Point made,” she snapped at me.
“No, you don’t get it! I don’t want to marry you. Not in June. Not in July. Not two years from now. Not anytime.” I felt like I was reading from the Dr. Seuss book Laney had quoted to the little girl at Jughead’s Diner. Not in June, not on the moon, not in socks, not in a box. Never, never! “I’m done, Sloane.”
There was a pause. Who was being dramatic now? “You can’t do this to me!”
“Me, me, me!” I seethed. “Just because marriage starts with an m and ends with an e , it’s not all about you!”
“Well, the word mistake does, too, but you can’t blame me for the one you’re making, mister. Just wait until my father—”
My cab careened past Ruel’s and the other cars idling along the curb for departures and swung into the first free space. I had caught up with Laney. I breathed a sigh of relief. “Have a nice life, Sloane.

Her little brother, Ruel, is different. Everyone dotes on him. He is special because he is brand new and he is a boy. Her father always wanted a boy, and her mother is happy because she has given him what he wanted. Ruel is, unfortunately, destined to grow into a negative masculine narcissist.

He called to mind the contents of the box; among other things, a certain big cake, with frosting on it, and, although he and Bob, as young athletes, were bound to hold such food in little regard, there was one thing about it which particularly impressed him just now, and that was the remembrance of how he had watched Bob’s sister, with her dainty little fingers, mould the frosting on the top, and how she had slyly wondered—as if there could be any doubt of it—whether they, meaning Tom, would think of her while they were eating it.

My hope is that after reading this book you will find a greater desire to study God’s word. When I think about God’s word I get excited. I see how much God loves and is willing to do for me. 1 John 3:16 shows that God sent his son to die so that I can have life eternal. It is this same Jesus that continues to love us today despite our shortcomings. Neither God nor his doctrines have changed nor will they ever be. The same Jesus who lived on earth remains the same yesterday, today and forever. Chapter 1 First Commandment Exodus 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
