When the Moon Was Ours

“They were two halves of a sky that had never been whole.”

There is a specific kind of magic in how they protect each other. They don't need the world to understand them as long as they have their own language.

The Bonner sisters wanting Miel’s roses shows how greed can ruin something beautiful. They want the magic without the cost of the thorns.

“She had fallen from the sky, and the world had caught her in a net of water.”

The water tower scene stayed with me for days. It reminds you that we all have a beginning that feels like falling.

“The moon was theirs because they had made it so.”

The ending doesn't wrap everything up in a neat bow. It just lets them be okay. Sometimes being okay is the biggest miracle of all.
