How odd it feels, to move along the same streets, the route in reverse, like inking over old words, her feet the quill, going back over work, rewriting, erasing. Partings are strange.

― Claudia Gray, Master and Apprentice

“Maybe it's possible to belong in a hundred different ways to a hundred different people and places.”
