He was always part of her thoughts, and now that he was real, he was inescapably part of her life, but it was as she had told her mother: saying he was part of her or that they were more than friends sounded like love, but it seemed like loss as well.

I don't yell back at my mother. When I'm angry or scared or upset, I don't yell. I stay quiet.

If you read to me, I could tell you everything that you read. They didn't know what it was. They knew I wasn't lazy, but what was it?
