Ella, just stay here. Stay safe. Safe, Ella repeated. Ella likes being safe. Safety in numbers. Safety deposit boxes. Ella will go with Tyson. What? Percy said. Oh... fine, whatever. Just don't get hurt. And Mrs. O'Leary— ROOOF. How do you feel about pulling a chariot?

Ella knows her way around her voice as very few people today. But there are times when she seems to be unaware there are things the human voice just doesn't do. She does them.

You told me you believed marriage was for other people. You're the only man who could make me believe that it's for me, too. Although when you get down to it, love is what's real. I still say marriage is just a piece of paper. Jack smiled. Let's find out, he said, and he pulled me down to the bed with him. Jack & Ella

Dane was shaking his head firmly. Don't bring it here, Ella. No babies. I gave him a dark look. What if it were a baby polar bear or a baby Galapagos penguin? I bet you'd want it then. I'd make an exception for endangered species, he allowed. This baby is endangered. It's with my mother.

I got everything I wanted. When I was young in Kansas City, I knew nothing about Frank Sinatra, Billy Eckstine, Ella Fitzgerald, of all those concert halls, of all those countries. I did not know what it was like to direct a band... All I wanted was to be big, to be in show-business, and to travel...and that's what I've been doing all my life.

I look at the careers of people I'm standing on the shoulders of. People like Lena Horne, Ella Fitzgerald, Sammy Davis Jr., and Sarah Vaughan. These are icons I wanted to emulate, and I feel like they've been holding me up for quite a long time.

How would you feel about sharing your bed? she asked. Tristan blinked. Excuse me? He'd love to! Gary said. Tristan shot him a look, Good, said Ivy, failing to notice Gary's wink. Ella can be a pillow hog, but all you have to do is roll over her.

Listen, here's reality. It is completely unfair and absolutely necessary that people who have been oppressed and marginalized have to lead everybody. That is MLK, that is Dolores Huerta, that is Fannie Lou Hamer, that is Ella Jo Baker, that is Nelson Mandela. You walk down the line.

See, the same old Ella still lives. He grins... She just needed a little push out.... No, she doesn't. She's gone forever. Try all you want, but I'm bringing her back.

For the rest of my life? His voice softens. Do you want that, Ella May? Do you want me eternally, infinitely, forever, till death do us part?
Jessica Sorensen

Actually I'm taking her for a ride, I say slyly, inching my hand up the back of Ella's leg and she slaps the back of my head playfully. I'm taking you for a ride in my car. And you think I'm the pervert.

I want you, he muttered. Get rid of him and take me. The only risk is losing someone you don't have anyway. He's not what you need, Ella. I am Unbelievable, I said in disgust. What's unbelievable? Your ego. It's surrounded by its own cloud of antimatter. You're a black hole of...of hubris!
