wish [wish]: v. to want; desire; to long for. "You don't make wishes?" he made a face. I scowled. "That's not the point. I'm granting a wish, and I need your help," I snapped, tired of this pointless conversation. He looked up at the sky for a moment before speaking. "I'll do it. I'll help you with this 'last wish' business of yours if I can prove to you that wishes will come true." I met his eyes and thought of Grandpa. Not like I had a choice. "Deal." * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Beverly Ace Morrow has never been one for wishes.
