sorrow ingredients world
In a world of sorrow, love was an act of will. All you needed were the right ingredients.
people rooms talent
She liked to disappear, even when she was in the same room as other people. It was a talent, as it was a curse.
stars sky salt
He'd thought he was lost, but now he recognized that eternity was around him, like salt from a shaker or stars in the sky.
judging arms certain
Still, she knows one thing for certain: never judge a relationship unless you are the one wrapped up in its arms.
house way planning
Jill and I have known each other our whole lives. One house separates our houses but we act as if it doesn't exist. We met before we were born and we'll probably still know each other after we die. At least, that's the way we're planning it.
heart hands racing
Before she realized he was next to her, he had placed his hands over hers on the countertop, then hooped his fingers through hers. Gretel looked up at him, so startled she might as well have been shot. 'I just wanted to wake you up', he said. Which is exactly what he did. One look at him and her heart was racing. One look, and whatever had been before was all over.
wish looks goes-on
He has the ability to catch someone by the way that he looks at her, and make her wish he would go on looking.
medicine sometimes
Sometimes movies really are the best medicine.

My theory is that everyone at one time or another has been at the fringe of society in some way: an outcast in high school, a stranger in a foreign country, the best at something, the worst at something, the one who's different. Being an outsider is the one thing we all have in common.
inspirational life jealous
The moon is always jealous of the heat of the day, just as the sun always longs for something dark and deep.
thinking like-love chance
Trouble is just like love, after all; it comes in unannounced and takes over before you've had a chance to reconsider, or even to think.
mom mother children
Mothers always find ways to fit in the work - but then when you're working, you feel that you should be spending time with your children and then when you're with your children, you're thinking about working.
dream butterfly sleep
You can be betrayed in your sleep. The whole world can tilt while you're dreaming of butterflies.
waiting
Anyway, the sort of love that will not wait is probably best to pass by
