Song: She’s Not Me by Jenny Lewis
Quotes:
- “That little bugger,” Wendy marvels viciously. “He thinks he can hack my system.”
- “I got rid of my corset the moment I could.”
Excerpt:
A snort escapes Wendy. “What a bunch of fucking imbeciles.”
“I want security beefed up,” is Van Brunt’s immediate response.
Her face flushes red with indigence. “Did you not just watch what I did? There’s no way those freaks are getting through my system.”
“Pride cometh before the fall, Ms. Darling. And no system is infallible. No harm can come from attempting to better our defenses. I’ll expect an update at our afternoon briefing later today.”
She sighs, but grudgingly offers a salute.
About the Author

Heather is a rabid music fan, as evidenced by her (mostly) music-centric blog, and she’s married to an even larger music snob. They’re happily raising three kids who are mini music fiends who love to read and be read to.
I will go non-Disney, Rumpelstiltskin. I liked how the princess used her wits to outsmart that guy.
