“These microcosms of time carved out by uncontrollable laughter… transported them back to a room in which everyone was still together—where there was no such thing as absence. In this elusive, fleeting moment of ebullience, all the world was whole again. Laughter a time machine in which happiness could reconstruct the past, and the present couldn’t do anything about it.”
― John Manuel Arias, Where There Was Fire
