Gadis dengan rambut dikucir dan seperangkat touchscreen di
tangan, berisi corat-coret daftar pertanyaan, tersenyum gugup di
kursi berlapis kulit asli di sebelahku. Aku sedang tidak berselera
untuk tersenyum, cukup menyeringai, menatapnya datar.
”Silakan,” kataku.
”Maaf, wawancara ini sudah berkali-kali ditunda. Kami sudah
berusaha menyesuaikan jadwal. Tapi begitulah, tidak mudah
mengejar kesibukan Anda.” Dia sedikit percaya diri tampaknya.
Senyumnya lebih baik.
Aku mengangguk. Aku tahu, tidak perlu dijelaskan. Janji

Life is full of surprises. One may have dreams in terms of big achievements in the growth and development journey, however, in the process, things change for the better or worse. What does this scenario tell us. That imaginations or plans in life are one thing and actual results as planned or not planned are another.
It is therefore critical to be psychologically prepared for anything even when one is working towards premeditated goals. We have seen or witnessed these things happen, I being one of the victims, to the betterment or detriment of the individuals involved. Plans are either achieved or shattered in the full glare of the affected people.
One may have wanted to build a house of some sort, marry a woman or man of certain level of education, color, height, social and economic background, achieve certain level of education and professional background, be a person of repute in a way different from what the rest have experienced and related scenarios but which results are not ultimately implemented or achieved.
Hence, what we need to understand in a nutshell is that we should expect surprises in life either negatively or positively. Here, we should be ready to accept such scenarios because nothing is perfect. Given second chance it is possible to correct situations for the better and/or worse depending on the strategy or approach embraced.
Regrets in life is very common scene in life since apparently no one has ever made it as planned; people struggle to be at the level planned but practically that come to pass without reaching the expected heights in life. The reason why people keep on working hard or smart to be where they want to be in life. But because life itself is not permanent, people die before realizing their full potential, though practically it has never happened in the life of most people.

Right after his graduation from high school, Miyuki was forced to do ceremonial things related to vampires by Fuyumi, his only guardian who had adopted him after his parents passed away.
In the context of Fantastic Fiction, Christina McKnight could be a writer with her own distinct style. Maybe she creates characters that are deeply immersed in fantastical worlds, filled with mythical creatures and extraordinary powers. Her works might be characterized by richly detailed settings and complex plotlines that draw readers into her fictional universes.
I would recommend starting with 'A Cold Day in Paradise'. It sets the tone for the series really well and introduces the character of Alex McKnight in a great way. You get to know his backstory and his personality, which makes it easier to follow the rest of the novels.
Since we don't have detailed information, her works might be centered around typical Fantastic Fiction elements like enchanted lands, magical beings and epic quests. They could involve a hero or heroine on a journey to save their world or discover their true selves in a fantastical context. Maybe she has a unique take on the use of magic in her stories, or creates really memorable characters that are beloved by those who have read her work.
In the first Alex McKnight novels, one key feature is the mystery element. The stories are full of twists and turns. Also, the character development of Alex McKnight is prominent. We see his backstory gradually unfold as he faces new challenges in the present. And the local flavor of the Michigan setting, with its unique culture and environment, is very much a part of the novels.
One of the first Alex McKnight novels is 'A Cold Day in Paradise'. It's a great start to the series, introducing readers to Alex McKnight, a former Detroit cop turned private investigator in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The story has a lot of mystery and a great sense of place.
I'm not sure exactly how many novels Reginald McKnight has written. You might need to check his official website or some reliable literary databases for accurate information.
The song 'Bedtime Story' by Brian McKnight may be special because it tells a story through music. His lyrics could be about love, hope, or some personal experiences. The way he sings and the music that accompanies it all work together to draw the listener in. It's like he's whispering a story to you as you're about to drift off to sleep, with his voice and the music wrapping you in a warm, comforting embrace.
He uses his voice. Brian McKnight has a very expressive voice. In 'Love Story', he can make his voice soft and tender to convey the gentle side of love, like when he sings about the early stages of a relationship.
