A little while later, the fire that crackled next to us was warm and soothing. Boone pulled me into his arms and my eyes slid closed in peace. I felt his racing heart beat slowing as I rested my head on his chest. I wished I could lie like that forever, but as with all good dreams, this one began to fray at the edges. Then the magenta and white dust swirled all around me before settling at my feet.
I bolted upright, only to find myself next to Boone. He stirred and I planted a soft kiss on his lips. His eyes opened and he looked at me with resolve.
“
I hope I have made it clear that I am in love with you, Noel.”
My chest fluttered at the words and I gave him my own slow smile. “I am in love with you, Boone.”
Somehow, I knew it was true and this was meant to be. I had never been so sure of anything in my life. A piece of my puzzle had come together and I smiled at the eternity I got to have with him.
Back page excerpt
My eyes fluttered open and I saw something magical. I was lying on the ground next to Jared, my legs folded up, boots resting flat on the ground. I turned my head to the side, looked into his eyes and he smiled.
All around us, the tall green grass was mixed with red tulips tinged with silver and the field was whispering in the wind. A large white moon hung in the deep purple sky. I turned to peer into those smoky eyes that had me at hello.
“
What is this place? It’s truly amazing. I have never seen anything like it.”
He smiled and just answered with a simple reply, “our wonderland.”
Then I gasped as Jared entwined his hand with mine and a shooting star came into view. The star seemed so close it appeared three-dimensional and was emitting a shower of stardust in its wake. Shimmering embers and sparkling bits surround us as I stared in awe.

“
It felt like I was nowhere yet everywhere all at once. I was invisible and completely panicked. The millions of pieces I had dissolved to drift on the breeze and away from my nightmares. It was kind of like floating weightless in a pool, perfectly relaxing. The warm breeze from the window embraced and soothed me. I let the air current carry me as far as it could through the summer city.”
“
Defeated, I closed my eyes and took a few calming breaths trying to relax myself. I pictured the dandelion in the park today and took a deep breath as to blow the fluffy seeds in all directions. I pretended I was light and fluffy and started to feel a tingling in my body. I began to feel as light as the dandelion seeds and soon I felt like mist floating. This time, I tried to keep myself in the room, swirling in a humid block.”

“
Hey whatever puts you in a good mood is fine by me. For all I care, monkeys could have danced around your classroom all hour if it made you happy.”
