Lauren Wolk, Wolf Hollow Quotes

Somewhere, excitement waited for me like an uncut cake.

Anyone who's ever gone from warm and bright to cold and dark knows how I felt.

All around us, birds woke up the sky.

But the wind always swept my words away like cloud shadows, as if it mattered more that I said them, than who heard them.

I slept so long and hard that when my mother woke me the next morning I was a stranger to myself.

And that's when I felt the first wave of sorrow that came from keeping a new secret.
