“I worry about Lily, sluggish as she is. Will she see Carter's truths? Will he tell her? God knows she won't hear them. She's moving too fast to hear anyone's music but her own. She's so set, but I know he could make her settled. I tried to sync their noise into music, but they both pushed back. Too obdurate to be oblong.
Silly Lily. How can she resist someone who brings gum and sounds like math?”

“That's how you know you're doing the right thing - it's so hard you want to give up.”
― Emily McKay, The Farm

“What can I say to convince you that I'm on the up-and-up?"
"Why don't you just start at the beginning and I'll stop you when you've won me over.”

“Most days Lily is the steady drumbeat. The rhythm of my heart. The repeating melody of the music in my head. But not today.”
