meaning-something knowing slides
Looking at him like that, I felt like I needed something from him, or somebody, and that probably meant that he also needed something from me, or somebody, but the revelation was like looking at spots on a slide.

real my-birthday cookies

At third it involves a very repressed love story with a very Mr. Darcy-like love interest.

thinking-about-you boys feelings
You're the nicest boy ever,", I told him, feeling undeserving and terrible. "You didn't have to get me anything. I like thinking about you thinking about me when I'm not around.

book home pages
...she made her home in between the pages of books.
dad grateful smile-because
I'm quite happy for that smile, because Dad told me once you should be grateful for the gifts that are the rarest.
