“For I did not know which was harder to bear: The echo of her passing, or the long silence that followed.”

“Wirr had been so happy, so proud to discover how much his father had changed.” :(

“There was a growl behind me and I turned to see a great wolfhound, so big that its face was at the same height as mine. There was something strange about its eyes— they were too intelligent for an animal, I think.” Diago??!??👀

“There was nowhere she could hide from the loss of him.”

“She’d go back to her apartment. Clean the place up. Rearrange the furniture. Throw it all out and start new. But she’d still see him standing in the sunlight, still feel his echo opening the cabinets.”

It wasn’t over. As long as she stayed here, the scene was still in play. As long as she stayed here, time would stand still.

“She is fixed, like her dad.” 💀

“Their eyes met, and there he was, the boy with whom she’d danced a thousand dances, and here she was, the girl who had loved him so purely.”

“I love you,” he repeated. He drew breath, tears rolling down his cheeks. “I always have.”

“So many nights not with him, each as empty and long as the last. And the days. How many days could have been like this one?”

“And then he was kissing her as if he’d never stopped.”

“It’s strange. All these people I knew… they’re just stories now.” “Not to me.”
