"I love Sky."
"Please," Mary said.
"I do," I said. "I didn't love me. I didn't know it was even possible to love yourself. But then Sky loved me, and I realized there must have been something really, really good about me, something I'd never noticed before. Everything Sky loves is good. He loved me, and he made me love me, and that's--you can't not love that, Mary. You can't not love him."

Grandma whipped around and cursed me out in Shoshone. I sulked, letting go of Sky. You're not supposed to love people in public but how was I supposed to keep it inside? When I loved someone, it threatened to pour out of me. There was so much of it and if I wasn't careful I'd probably burst open. Sometimes I thought that loving people was my only real talent. In the way of talents, it wasn't a bad one to have.

If Sky could love Mary, I decided, then I could love Paul. Because when you love somebody--and I loved Sky--you gotta be willing to do things for them you never would have seen yourself doing in a million years. If you love somebody, you have to love them with your actions, not your thoughts. I wanted to love everything Sky loved. If Sky loved it, it was good.

"I didn't do nothing wrong!"
"Reading in the dark?" he said. "With the lights out? When you're supposed to be asleep?"
I fumed. Not because Uncle Gabriel was wrong--'course he wasn't--but because I felt like I was being punished for something I had no control over. Once you start reading a book, how the hell are you supposed to stop? The way I figure, you're only allowed to stop if there aren't any mermaids.
