“Like a spring pulled too tight, Quincy cocked her small chin up in the direction fo the voice.”
― The Q
― The Q
“Do you think it’s helped at all? I mean . . . with the not knowing?”
Leo considers the question, staring down at my half-eaten plate.
“In some ways, kind of? I mean, who even knows if my parents came from anywhere near where her family is, but . . . it’s nice to learn about anyway.”

“It’s weird to think . . . in some other life . . . Carla and I would be living there. Like there’s some alternate version of us who do. You know?”
