Quotes - A Bend in the Future
Alden examined the top of the stall. "Genell is stepping out of her comfort zone in a few months. Maybe you can show her you can step out, and come home?"
"You spend too much time alone. Too much thought at too young an age can lead you to be an introvert. No place for hermits like me in modern society," Mrs. Jensen said.
"So that's why. Hey, don't let your sister become dependent on you either. You both need to be your own self." Irwan stared out at the road.
"No. Not today." Alden stopped and looked her in the eye. "Promise me. If you go off alone, especially in your car, you will take it with you. It's for your protection."
Mrs. Yates nodded. "I'm trying to help you. I really don't think it's a good idea for people your age to start a business like this. Go live life."
Erin shook her head. "I'd never be able to work in a common work environment due to my food allergies. And neither would Tammy, or Nerena. If anyone will understand the importance of food contamination issues, we would."
