"Cella loved. How Cella could love!
Her devotion was undiluted, her cherishing was like being dressed up in Sunday best and sent off to a delicious party instead."

"That was Cella. She changed everything. Just by being near her, you could breathe in some of that magic."

"And when you grew up, you somehow never forgot it. The way it could be. The way it was, somewhere. You might come across it."
