“She said, “When I was young, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up.” He said, “And what did you say?” “Some days a doctor, some days a teacher.” Then silence filled the gap between their lips. The kind of silence that whispered memories, smelled of change, a passing from one self to another. “And now? What do you want to be now?” He questioned. “Kind. And good. And happy. I don't really think anything else matters.”  ”
