Loved for ourselves. & even loved in spite of ourselves.
Victor Hugo

“Another world is colliding with this one,” said the toad. “There. Happy now? That’s what Miss Tick thinks. But it’s happening faster than she expected. All the monsters are coming back.”
“Why?”

There was silence for a moment.
“There’s me,” said Tiffany.
