She gently pokes my flesh. She presses her hands against my back to test its firmness.“Shes attractive，” she says.Marisa warns her, “Mrs. Bratton, she is a Beta (a new product being tested by users). Dr. Lusardi has not perfected the teen line yet.”“I guess that will be reflected in the price，” says Mrs. Bratton.“Of course，” Marisa says. “Dr. Lusardi will be thrilled to know someone is willing to take a chance on a teen Beta.”Mrs. Bratton looks at me，“Whats your name, dear？”“Elysia，” I say.“I think you might make a wonderful addition to our household, Elysia. Were so badly missing a teenage girl ever since Astrid, my eldest, went off to Biome University，” she says sadly.“Congratulations，” I say, because I know thats the appropriate thing to say to a parent whose child has studied in a wellknown university. “You must be very proud.”Mrs. Brattons face brightens. “I am! But Astrids so hardworking that she seldom comes back to visit us. We miss her a lot. Would you like to come to my family？”“Yes, ma am，” I say.Marisa sends me back into the store when she finishes the negotiations (协商) with Mrs. Bratton.

She was 14 at the time, struggling with thyroid cancer that had spread to her lungs. We held hands and cried as we watched her lying there, so fragile. We didnt think shed make it through the night. Yet, like Hazel, she regained her strength. She lived for two more beautiful and hard years until just after her 16th birthday, in August 2010.Author John Green showed respect for Esther at the beginning of his book. “I could never have written The Fault in Our Stars without knowing Esther. Every word in that book depends on her，” Green wrote.Im not sure what Esther would have thought of it. But watching the movie, I couldnt help feeling I was seeing my little sister on the screen. After a doctor offers a new machine, Hazel interrupts, “Why? I like the old machine.” My sister could be similarly playful. “This oxygen machine is cool, and I like it. I name it Denmark，” she said in one video.However, Hazel is not supposed to be Esther. The Fault in Our Stars is a love story between two teenagers. My sister never got to have a relationship like that. Witnessing a life and a romance (浪漫故事) she could have had made me feel unbearably sad and yet, strangely, uplifted.
