"...I’d cast a glance and then look away—look
away because I didn’t want to swim in the lovely, clear pool
of his eyes unless I’d been invited to—and I never waited
long enough to know whether I was even wanted there; look
away because I was too scared to stare anyone back; look
away because I didn’t want to give anything away; look away
because I couldn’t acknowledge how much he mattered."
