“Falling out of love was much harder than Gabe would have liked. Normally led through life by the heart attached to his sleeve, finding logic in love proved to be a bit like getting vaccinated for some dread disease: a good idea in the end, but the initial pain certainly wasn’t any fun. He came to appreciate that there were worse ways to live than to live without love. For instance, if he didn’t have arms, Gabe wouldn’t be able to hide in his work. Yes, a life without arms would be quite tragic, indeed.”
― Leslye Walton, The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender

“The Ari I used to be didn't exist anymore. And the Ari I was becoming? He didn't exist yet.”
