I’ll give you a little context on this week’s Six. Bran is Nathaniel’s godson. He was injured about two chapters ago and the heroine, who hasn’t realized what her hero (or his godson) is yet, sent a balloon bouquet and a teddy bear as get well gifts.
“It’s no joke,” Nathaniel said. “You just had a handful of zeros shaved off your age.”
Tilting his head to one side, Bran entered a staring match with the stuffed toy, as if he couldn’t decide what to make of it. “Is there a reason your friend thinks I’m Little League material?”
“My friend thinks I’m human. That makes you human by default.”

Hailey writes about questionable applications of otherwise perfectly good magic, the transformative power of love, the family you choose for yourself, and blowing stuff up. Not necessarily all at once. That could get messy.

*laugh* Love it!
Dee Carney says
The toy's going to win the staring match. Just sayin'…
Hailey says
*snort* You're probably right, Dee. Poor Bran was unconscious again two paragraphs later. As to whether or not he ended up sleeping with Mr. Bear. *zips lips*
Stacey Kennedy says
HA!!! Too funny! Awesome!!
Alanna Coca says
That's great. I'm assuming he's too old for a teddy bear?
Hailey says
Yes, by a few thousand years. 🙂
