I recently purchased the anthology “Timeless, An Anthology of Young Adult Romance.” Here are six sentences from one of those stories: “And the Nightingale Sang” by Kip Wilson
In this passage, our heroine is meeting the boy she loves for the first time in months. He is a traveling minstrel, and a poet, and she is as in love with his music as she is in love with him. Take it away, Kip!

“I would as gladly be a rose as a lily, if it gave me the chance to live in your poetry,” I said, waiting for him to offer me more. Had he figured out my wish?
“You will most certainly find a home in my poems one day,” he murmured into my ear, “but for now I want you in my arms–as a real girl. How I have missed you, my love.”
Our time apart vanished in an instant, and I became his.
