He was pain given form.”

“Maybe it would be better to forget him. She hadn’t wanted the forgetting before, but she wanted it now.
She wanted the pain to end. She wanted to forget his dimpled smile, his brilliant blue eyes, the way he called her Little Fox. And suddenly, her chest was tight at the thought she might never hear that nickname again. And she didn’t want to forget. She didn’t want to forget at all.
She didn’t want the memories erased or rewritten; she wanted more of them.”
