Night Star

Ava laughs, taking a moment to ruffle Rayne's hair, before she pulls her close to one side and Romy to the other, her gaze locked on mine when she says, "It all comes down to your intention. When you put all of your focus on a  problem, you just get more of the problem. So before, when the twins were unable to return to Summerland, it was because they were too focused on themselves and their problem of getting here. But this time, their only concern was for Jude, and they got there in an instant. So basically, whenever you're looking for a solution, you are feeling positive emotion--and whenever you're looking at a problem, you're feeling negative emotion, which, as you know, never gets us anywhere. But once you take the focus off yourself and your wants, and instead turn it toward how getting what you want might also benefit someone else, well then, you can't help but succeed," she says, voice soft and sweet. "That's the key behind any success."
