names missing able
And in general, the residents of the town wondered why they all felt hollow just beneath the throat, the result of missing something they had never been able to name in the first place.
beautiful falling-in-love gone
Shelby believed that love was like a solar eclipse - breathtakingly beautiful, absorbing, and capable of rendering you blind. She had not necessarily gone out of her way to avoid a relationship, but she hadn't wanted on either. It was called falling in love for a reason - because, inevitably, you crashed at the bottom.
reading past chloe
Losing Chloe had been like reading a wonderfulook only to realize that all the pages past a certain point were blank.
feet rocks safety
Safety is relative. You can be so close to shore that you can practically feel it under your feet, when you suddenly find yourself breaking apart on the rocks.
giving world way
You can be strapped to the most stable chair and still feel the world give way beneath you.
moving casting amish
The English judged a person so that they'd be justified in casting her out. The Amish judged a person so that they'd be justified in welcoming her back. Where I'm from, if someone is accused of sinning, it's not so that others can place blame. It's so that the person can make amends and move on.

feelings drug brain
The brain of a person in love will show activity in the amygdala, which is associated with gut feelings, and in the nucleus accumbens, an area associated with rewarding stimuli that tends to be active in drug abusers. Or, to recap: the brain of a person in love doesn't look like the brain of someone overcome by deep emotion. It looks like the brain of a person who's been snorting coke.
dream sometimes fathom
Sometimes we don't know we're dreaming; we can't even fathom that we're asleep.
memories heart two
Memories aren't stored in the heart or the head or even the soul, if you ask me, but in the spaces between any given two people.
voice giving forget
What could you give me," I ask, my voice shaking, "to make me forget ... that you forgot about me?
want littles different
If you want to know someone's story, they have to tell it aloud. But every time, the telling is a little but different. It's new, even to me.
