"This is really enjoyable.

“Day 72
I remember oranges and you don’t mind me leaving the queue momentarily to find some. When you say, Of course, you reach for my arm in sympathy and recognition. This may be the thing that breaks me today, that stops me in my tracks before driving me forward, turning a corner, making something work, letting everything happen. When I return, you’re touching my yoghurts, reading the ingredients, as though you are making them yours, protecting them in my absence and amusing yourself with the cherry-ness of them. On days like this, I want to take my strangers home with me.”

“When she was a child, she always felt the potential for something special to happen when she cried. How magical that your body could produce such a pure, clear sign of emotion. A whole language she was born understanding. It was like she could grow feathers.”

“Besides, who has the strength to hold the weight of grief? People find ways to reshape it, bury it, or throw it hard against a wall.”

“This is what happened in love. One of you cried a lot and then both of you grew sarcastic.”

“In the end we had the pieces of the puzzle, but no matter how we put them together, gaps remained, oddly shaped emptinesses mapped by what surrounded them, like countries we couldn't name.”
