“Annie and I had spun together across worlds and universes and dreams. But the chaos had swallowed her whole, absorbed her warmth, and scattered us apart as easily as we had spun, intoxicated, together.”

“I think certain people resonate in our lives, and no matter how much time or how many worlds stand between us, we often gravitate back to those same people.

― Joe Ducie, Broken Quill
