“The best kind of love doesn’t happen on moonlit walks and romantic vacations. It happens in between the folds of everyday life. It’s not grand gestures that show how you feel, it’s all the little secret things you do to make her life better that you never tell her about.”
― Abby Jimenez, Just for the Summer

“If she hid for thirty minutes, then waved at three more people on her way to the elevator, maybe no one would notice if she spent the rest of the party hiding in an empty room, reading her Purse Book and eating her Napkin Cheese.”
― Ally Carter, The Most Wonderful Crime of the Year

“Parents, grandparents, maybe aunts or uncles or siblings or family friends. They're all cocooned in their little clusters of support, and it warms me to see that. They're lucky. Even if they don't realize it. They have people in their lives who care enough to brave a rainy night on the waterfront to see their school projects, to hear them speak. To applaud them. It makes all the difference, having a cheerleader. I lost touch with the ones I did have.”
― Debbie Johnson

“Suchi knew now that home wasn't a place. It wasn't moments that could be pinned down. It was people, people who share the same ghosts as you, folks long gone, places long disappeared. People who knew you, saw you, loved you. When those people were far-flung, your home was too. And when those people were gone, home lived on inside of you.”
