He was contemplating on telling her that he was a wizard.

At first Alex really hadn’t worried much about Miranda. Sure she was pretty, and sure, she was the first girl Justin had shown an interest in with whom he’d been able to start a relationship with, but the young witch was sure that the relationship wasn’t going...

Normally, Alex would be admiring her clothes in the full-length mirror set into the closet door, the closet itself set into the wall among other closets.

Thanks to one screwed-up love potion, though, this wasn't normal. For starters, no clothes on.

Last time she fell under the influence of a love potion, she freaking fell in love...

The beginning is like this:

There is a garden and there is a serpent and there is a tree.

There is a garden and there is fruit and man falls. Woman causes man to fall.

Man falls and the next few chapters rhyme with sin.

Man falls and there is disease and death and turmoil.

Man falls and there is passion and love and want....

There was a moment where she wasn't his sister, a moment where he was a teenage boy with no past and no future and she was a teenage girl looking at him like he was the world. For the first time he saw what strangers on the street saw, that Alex was beautiful and that she had a way of smiling that shined and that without even...

The clock next to her bed switched to midnight, Christmas day finally rolling around. “Merry Christmas,” Justin murmured to Alex, holding her tight. She wrapped her arms around him tighter, smiling and content.

“Merry Christmas,” she whispered back, that warm feeling she got when she was happy spreading through her. Even...

These are things that don't count, according to Justin:

1. His first kiss.

Because it was technically seventeen kisses, and half of those involved sucking on some fat guy's hairy gut. Justin can't afford therapy, so it doesn't count, okay.

(...and maybe 'cause he vaguely sort of remembers Alex popping up right before kiss number eleven,...

Daddy’s little girl turns lost, in a blink and you’ll miss it moment.

The neighbors come, condolences on their lips, who didn’t see this coming in their eyes.

Theresa cries. Jerry makes sandwiches. The world keeps turning.

Alex tilts her head to his, warm breath against his skin.

Let’s go somewhere.

It was Saturday, a relatively normal Saturday for that. Except for the fact it was far, far too hot to be true at this time of the year in New York. Justin sidled into the sub-station around one o' clock that day, throwing an apron over his shoulder, serving customers in the thirsty lunch-hour rush that day.

"Where's Alex?"...

When Justin was seven Alex scraped her knee, magically. He wasn’t even sure if she was trying to do a spell, but one minute she was playing with their dad’s old wand, the next she was sitting on the wall, her knee tattered and bleeding, and screaming her head off for Justin save her. He ran and got Dad.
After Jerry got her...

Justin and Alex burst through the doors of the Sub Station after school, mid-conversation and chattering loudly. “I still have to write an essay so I’ll get chosen to go to the World School Summit at the U.N.,” Justin informs her loftily.

“Yeah, once you said ‘essay,’ all I heard was ‘blah blah blah blah blah,’”...

He’s convinced he remembers the day she was born. Vaguely, of course, because he was terribly young, and he doesn’t recall images of that time so much as feelings. Suddenly he wasn’t the only child anymore – there was another little being, one who sapped Mommy and Daddy’s attention, and he hated that, absolutely...

If they’re going to be honest with each other, they’ve both felt it for a very long time. The tug in Justin’s chest when Alex got her first boyfriend was more than just brotherly pride or filial cautiousness; he knew by then, and maybe she did too… or perhaps it wasn’t until Miranda that she properly acknowledged...

We could put a blanket over this, they said. We could cover it, fold it up and lock it away. We could find a rug to sweep this under, they whispered, like it never happened. We can hide this behind closed doors, closed mouths, closed eyes and closed hearts in order to keep it from all the closed minds.

But the blanket would come...

“Where are you going?”

Alex was glad that her back was to the doorway, otherwise he’d see the smirk appearing on her face before she could control herself into looking neutral. “What does it look like, Justin? Out.”

“Where. Are. You. Going?”

A small smile slipped onto her lips as she squeezed on the little scrap...

Unlike every other time, Alex had no idea how she had gotten herself into this mess.

For a while, she couldn't quite place why she got so annoyed when Harper droned on and on about her crush on Justin. She knew why she was supposed to be annoyed—because he was her brother, because it was weird to hear her best friend talk about...

She was special.

Amazing. Funny. Gifted. Beautiful. And his sister.

She was forbidden.

Everything about her was off-limits. Her smile. Her laugh. Her lips.

Everything.

“This is outrageous.” He squeaked.

She shuffled closer to him and whispered, “No it’s not. It’s the perfect plan!” She giggled and Justin had to bite back...
