“Trying to play my part and stay home,
Burying my nose in a book like a gnome,
But I know how Rapunzel felt in the tower
When she wanted to feel the rain shower...
It's like being in your forties out of a fort
When your forte is dancing barefoot...
Instead of being trapped I chose to cut short,
To leave the port,
And not go kaput!”

“The tiny red-hatted gnome held a stack of books, the titles delicately carved onto the spines and painted in gold. Each book represented a different part of her. Outlander for their love across time and because it was one of her favorites. Fairy Tales by Hans Christian Andersen because she had found it in the bookstore. A Christmas Carol because they both loved Christmas. Lily and the Octopus, presumably because of Bernie, and lastly Circle of Friends, which seemed self-explanatory.”
