“Since he knew things at the beginning, maybe at the end he knew things too. That we had gone as far as chance would take us.

Lee Hotel Restaurant, he kissed me so slowly with an open mouth and every single thing in my body-my skin, my collarbone, the hollow backs of my knees, everything inside of me filled up with light.”
