“On their own, one man’s eyes were not more memorable than another’s. It was how they looked at you that made you remember them.”

“I did not wake up and suddenly feel that I loved you. The only answer I can give you is that it happened gradually. Slowly, and unnoticed, the way the ocean turns rocks into sand. And you are an ocean, Hana. Gentle and quiet, yet powerful enough to sweep away any man or ship. I drowned in you a long time ago and I did not even know it.”
― Samantha Sotto Yambao, Water Moon
