enough difficult persons
And while it is hard enough to take away something that makes a person happy it's even more difficult when it seems like it's the only thing.
writing thinking historical
I think I'm too lazy a writer to do something like historical fiction. You have to do so much research. I just write what I know.
nice tired home
There's something nice about the silence of a car ride in the dark, going home. When you were tired of the radio and conversation, and it was okay to just be alone with your thoughts and the road ahead. If you're that comfortable with someone, you don't have to talk.
assuming stranger odd
Odd how it was so easy for a stranger to assume such familiarity. Especially when those who were supposed to know you best often didn't, not at all.
findings
I trailed off and he didn't push me to finish. I was finding that I liked that.
trying littles ifs
I waited. Because with Eli, he was never trying to get you to finish for him. He always knew where he was going, even if it took a little while to get there.
optimism fearless enough
He'd always had that fearless optimism that made cynics like me squirm. I wondered if it was enough for both of us. I would never know from here, though. And time was passing. Crucial minutes and seconds, each one capable of changing everything.
kind sometimes harder
It is kind of hard to hold a lot in. But for me… it’s sometimes even harder to let it out.
way saying-no looks
but you could also look at it the other way. Like you’re saying no matter how bad things are for you, I can still relate.
block sleep light
But what he didn't understand was that this dreamland was preferable,walking through this life half-sleeping,everything at arm's length or farther away. I understood those mermaids.I didn't care if they sang to me.All I wanted was to block out all the human voices as they called me name again and again,pulling me upward into light,to drown.
knives spoons forks
You bought me some forks. And knives. And spoons. Because you love me!
space steps said
Okay," he said. He took a breath. "What would you do, if you could do anything?" I took a step toward him, closing the space between us. "This." I said. And then I kissed him.
simple office hey
You just walk over there and into the office and say, 'Hey, be my prom date,'" he said. "It's that simple.
judgement supportive olivia
It wasn't like I was some expert on the meaning of being supportive. Was it being loyal even against your better judgement? Or, like Olivia, was it making your displeasure known from the start, even when someone didn't want to hear it?
