I am looking for someone to share
in an adventure that I am arranging,
and it is very difficult to find anyone.

Of all the words of mice and men, the saddest are ‘It might have been.’

Kurt Vonnegut, Cat’s Cradle

Warm summer sun,
    Shine kindly here,
Warm southern wind,
    Blow softly here.
Green sod above,
    Lie light, lie light.
Good night, dear heart,
    Good night, good night.
       
Mark Twain, Warm Summer Sun

Claudia knew that she could never pull off the old-fashioned kind of running away. That is, running away in the heat of anger with a knapsack on her back. She didn’t like discomfort; even picnics were untidy and inconvenient: all those insects and the sun melting the icing on the cupcakes. Therefore, she decided that her leaving home would not be just running from somewhere but would be running to somewhere. To a large place, a comfortable place, an indoor place, and preferably a beautiful place. And that’s why she decided upon the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

Claudia Kinkaid: a favorite heroine of fiction

Just waiting for summer to arrive. Double points if it comes with a boat ride and a cute boy. Triple points if said boy is a Varun doppelganger.
