“I'm overwhelmed by the thought of all the women who would pour out of me if I were cracked open: swarming like insects, bubbling up out of my mouth. The women who have collected inside me over the years, filling up my insides until there's no room left for me.”

“If Patrick leaves, I don’t know what will happen to his wife. When it’s clear that he’s not coming back, she could stay inside me, metastasizing through my bones until nobody can tell us apart.

To let Sylvia devour me or to be entirely alone again, abandoned inside my skin.”
