(About a pearl necklace)
“Well, the story goes something like this… my grandmother thought it was a foolish, unnecessary expense, because she felt there would rarely be any special occasion to wear them. So, she wore them on birthdays and subsequent anniversaries and eventually they got passed down to my mother who was just the opposite. She wore them everywhere. [name_m]Even[/name_m] to the market. I think she did it to annoy [name_m]Pierre[/name_m] Boulanger.”

“You have so many questions; it’s starting to become annoying.” Linnaeus sighed.

“No, stop… the library,” [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] breathed, struggling to escape his hold.

Frantically, Hali clasped her hands together in prayer, “I beg of you, Mel. Please, distract mom long enough for me to help Xavier escape.”
Next: distract
She probably didn’t notice, I remind myself. She’s focused her textbook. When she starts thinking about social studies, an earthquake couldn’t distract her.
Next: focus
“Considering what we just saw, I don’t blame you,” Linnaeus paused and met [name_f]Astrid[/name_f]’s eyes, which were now focused on him. “[name_m]Don[/name_m]’t worry, nothing is going to happen to you. Not while I’m here.”

“Listen, Theo, I think you’re a cool guy, but—”
“But what?” Theo shot him an angry look.
“Wha—nothing! I—I think you’re a cool guy!” He dismissed whatever thoughts he had been thinking moments ago. Theo did not seem like the type to mess around with.

The crew stood in stunned silence for just a moment, before the beast helped itself to a generous piece of the bowsprit, spitting out jagged shards of splintered wood.

“Oh, thank you, then. [name_f]My[/name_f] summer was good, it was nice to not have to grade and worry about teaching for a bit. How was yours?” Mr. Edwards smiled briefly before walking back to his desk and stapling a few pieces of paper together.
Next word: smile
She snorted at him, “You’re always so downbeat, [name_m]Ernest[/name_m]. [name_m]Don[/name_m]’t you ever smile? Laugh?”
“Not while I’m on your father’s clock.”
Next: laugh
“That was such a long game, only for it to end with me choosing the wrong card,” [name_u]Arden[/name_u] sighed, then laughed.

His wife immediately kissed the top of their son’s head and sighed dreamily, “His name is [name_m]Xavier[/name_m]. [name_m]Xavier[/name_m] [name_m]Luc[/name_m].”
Next: dream
It’s sad that she’s letting fear hold her back from her dream.
Next word: [name_f]Fear[/name_f]
[name_m]Rufus[/name_m] shuddered, then began to sob, every shock of fear forcing its way out as he finally released the terror in some way. He cried into his hands and felt his mind clear just a little bit, still a foggy mess, but a fraction of the panic gone.
Next word: foggy/fog
However, his head was much too foggy right now for [name_u]Sam[/name_u] to think at all clearly
Next: think
I sank to the ground next to Nahid’s still warm body, her blood soaking through my thin sweatshirt, my sobs reverberating through the trees and slamming back into my ears. [name_u]Liam[/name_u] placed a gentle hand on my shoulder, turning me away from the corpse. “We need to go now.” he signed with quick movements of his hands. I barely registered the words, I couldn’t think straight.
