crazy retarded disaster
Underneath this veneer of slightly crazy and mildly socially retarded, I'm a complete disaster.
crazy eye dark
When Cath's eyes closed, her eyelids stuck. She wanted to open them. She wanted to get a better look at Levi's too-dark eyebrows, she wanted to admire his crazy, vampire hairline--she had a feeling this was never going to happen again and that it might even ruin what was left of her life, so she wanted to open her eyes and bear some witness.
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.
running ties arms
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.
stacking cheaper
That was the beauty in stacking up words--they got cheaper, the more you had of them.
running body want
She didn't want to run, period. It made her breasts feel like they were going to detach from her body.
mean laughing kind
Eleanor,” he said, just because he liked saying it, “why do you like me?” “I don’t like you.” He waited. And waited… Then he started to laugh. “You’re kind of mean,” he said. “Don’t laugh. It just encourages me.
size wanted
She carried herself like she was exactly the size everyone else wanted to be.
said objects
I object to every single thing you just said.
cute islands lines
He looked like someone with a steerage ticket on the titanic. Somebody who'd be standing in line at Ellis Island. Undiluted and old-blooded. Also cute.
swimming sometimes drowning
Cath felt like she was swimming in words. Drowning in them, sometimes.
broken
I'd rather be broken than wasted.
squirrels campus abusive
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.
