What's worse ...? The devil you don't know ... or the devil you do?
certain
There are certain things I do not talk about.
offering soul body
And he made love to her, offering his body in both tenderness and anger, unsure which was the best way to pass her bits of his soul so that she could patch her own with it
doctors somewhere-else giving
The nurses, I have already learned, are the ones who give us the answers we’re desperate for. Unlike the doctors, who fidget like they need to be somewhere else, the nurses patiently answer us as if we are the first set of parents to ever have this kind of meeting with them, instead of the thousandth.
phones feelings fax
She understood how a world jammed with phones, email, and faxes could still leave you feeling utterly alone.
over-you said remembered

mistake long-ago starting-over
if i have gained anything over these months, it is the knowledge there is no starting over - only living with the mistakes you've made. but then, caleb taught me long ago you can't build anything without some sort of foundation. maybe we learn to live our lives by understanding, firsthand, how not to live them.
missing gourmet alternatives
If you don't know there's an alternative, you can't miss it

The best relationships were the ones where both sides went out of their way to make sure the other wasn't disappointed.
add lines disappear
Add love, and all the lines between right and wrong were bound to disappear.
