How Green Becomes Wood

As she drove home, Claire sang along happily to the radio, and as soon as she was home, she went to talk to her mom for a long, long time, before going to her bedroom to text her friends about every moment of it while lying on her bed with her stuffed cow squeezed beneath her. She had been on dates before, but none which had left her feeling like this.

"I think I truly know what love feels like," Alec sighed happily. "It was the most amazing hour and a half that I have ever spent! Oh, and I have a little flower for Ivy." He gave his little sister a small pansy, which was an edible flower, and he'd washed it twice. Just in case.
