the unlikely hero of room 13b by teresa toten

'Greetings, Robyn, and welcome!' said Dr. For her he would master his most troublesome rituals and offer up what was left of his sanity. Salinger's Nine Stories, his Xbox, his autographed Doc Halladay baseball and his most prized Orcs from the Warhammer Fantasy Battle game-the classic eighth edition, not the other poseur stuff.

Hers for the taking as of that moment were his iPad 3 (especially since he himself was no longer allowed to use it), his first-edition copy of J. Without even knowing how he knew, he somehow did know that if she wanted, he would give the girl everything. It was like he had drowned in a wave of want. By the time he exhaled, the boy was in love. Without looking up, she crossed her genius, perfect legs and flipped a long black braid behind her. She sat down directly across from him, at her end of the semicircle. The girl made her way toward the semicircle of chairs, not smiling exactly, but not hesitating either. The girl stepped into the room, and within the space of a heartbeat, he was lost.
