girl i-like-you thinking
I miss you, Eleanor. I want to be with you all the time. You’re the smartest girl I’ve ever met, and the funniest, and everything you do surprises me. And I wish I could say that those are the reasons I like you, because that would make me sound like a really evolved human being …‘But I think it’s got as much to do with your hair being red and your hands being soft … and the fact that you smell like homemade birthday cake
space air and-love
I didn't know someone could love me like this," she said. "Could love me and love me and love me without...needing space." Lincoln wasn't asleep. He rolled on top of her. "There's no air in space," he said.
frustrated hey steps
Hey,' he said. It came out hard and frustrated. 'I told you to smile because you're pretty when you smile.' She walked to the bottom of the steps, then looked back at him. 'It'd be better if you thought I was pretty when I don't.

thinking enough left
I don’t think there’s enough of her left.
perfect lovely path
She knew she was lovely, and she shared it like a gift. Every smile from Agatha was like waking up to a perfect sunny day. Agatha knew it. And she smiled at everyone who crossed her path, as if it were the most generous thing she could offer.
clothes tights icy
It was the best kind of November day. Cold and crisp, but not quite freezing, not icy. Just cold enough that she could justifiably wear all her favorite clothes—cardigans and tights and leg warmers.
people way pairs
People tend to pair off that way, Cath thought, in matched sets.
taken years what-if
It had taken years to put themselves back together, and so what if some things didn’t get put back in the right place? At least they could hold themselves up.
littles pages faces
I know what it’s like to be distracted. To seek out distractions. To exhaust yourself doing every other little thing rather than face a blank page
jobs want
It’s not my job to want you or not want you. It’s not my job to earn you.
