“He takes my hair in his fists, kisses me. Rough, hard, unhinged. I don't want to give in, but I kiss him back with a love that feels like drowning. The breathless desire to breathe.”
― Miranda Cowley Heller, The Paper Palace

“But this time when I pull away from him, it is agonizing. Not found, but lost. I pause, stand on the precipice of memory, wanting so desperately to fall into it, knowing I can't. Jonas is animal, Peter is mineral. And I need a rock.”
― Miranda Cowley Heller, The Paper Palace
