“Every time you love, pieces of you break off and get replaced by something you steal from someone else.

Gansey said, “Okay.”

They went and got some orange juice.”

“I have this vision: That I would finally come and find you. Scattered pieces of distance would not stand in my way. Not needing words; the barest of glimpses would suffice for you and me.”
