But Mercy’s mother is about to drive her over the edge.<\/p>\n

\u201cButterflies and balloons,\u201d I told Adam. \u201cShe wants to release butterflies and balloons. Two hundred balloons. Gold ones.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cI expect she\u2019s trying to get Monarch butterflies if she wants gold balloons,\u201d Jesse said helpfully. <\/p>\n

\u201cMonarch butterflies,\u201d said Adam. \u201cCan you imagine the poor things trying to figure out their migration route from the Tri-Cities?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cShe has to be stopped before she destroys the ecosystem,\u201d I told him, only half-joking.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Then there is the honeymoon, and, of course, Mercy gets into trouble.<\/p>\n

\u201cYo-yo Girl?\u201d I yelped. \u201cEdythe is Yo-yo Girl? Yo-yo Girl sent us here?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cThanks for the surgery. That felt like the fastest extraction I\u2019ve had.\u201d <\/p>\n

Gordon raised an eyebrow. \u201cDo you find yourself saying that often? If so, I advise a different lifestyle.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

However, she also gets to meet her father (as a ghost) and finally discovers others like her.<\/p>\n

Different is not worse. It is just different.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As much as I don’t love the narration, it still kept me working so I could keep listening (I listen to audio books when I’m exercising or working; I have to keep exercising (or working) to keep listening.<\/p>\n
