"I feel a little burn of envy, and then it's gone, vanished into the blue sky outside."
Page 150 of Ask Me No Questions by Marina Budhos

This quote makes me feel very proud of Nadira. I know that I tend to get very jealous of simple things and knowing that my cousin's life would be suddenly way easier than mine just because she had gotten married I would have more than a little burn of envy. I would probably go up in a large smoke of envy. I love the fact that Budhos used the word vanished, because even if she hadn't included "the blue sky outside" and she just had said (something along the lines of) "the little burn of envy vanished" I would get a pretty clear picture (because of the terminology).
