broken damage kind
That's the ultimate kind of broken. The kind of damage you never recover from.
missing-someone loss thinking
You think that holding someone hard will bring them closer. You think that you can hold them so hard that you'll still feel them, embossed on you, when you pull away. Every time Eleanor pulled away from Park, she felt the gasping loss of him.

She wanted to lose herself in him. To tie his arms around her like a tourniquet. If she showed him how much she needed him, he'd run away.

Cath felt like she was swimming in words. Drowning in them, sometimes.
broken
I'd rather be broken than wasted.

The squirrels on campus were beyond domestic; they were practically domestically abusive.
winning ifs
You win when no one finds you, even if they're not looking.

A little manic was what their house ran on.
