“It must be a male thing to talk about playing with balls.”

“Is Jase already going to marry you?"
I start coughing again. "Uh. No. No, George. I'm only seventeen." As if that's the only reason we aren't engaged.
"I'm this many," George holds up four slightly grubby fingers. "Jase is seventeen and a half. You could. Then you could live in here with him. And have a big family."
Jase strides back into the room, of course, midway through this proposition. "George. Beat it. Discovery Channel is on."
George backs out of the room, but not before saying, "His bed's really comfortable. And he never pees in it."
The door closes and we both start laughing.”

“Le persone quando se ne vanno lasciano un vuoto e chi rimane usa il dolore che sente come uno scudo contro tutti gli altri. Il dolore ci ricorda che siamo vulnerabili, che il nostro cuore si può spezzare. Ci fa stare in guardia verso quelli che potremmo amare di nuovo perché il pensiero di perderli ci terrorizza. Il dolore è come l'amore: ci riempie il cuore e ci cambia”
― Liliana Onori, Ritornare a casa
