my heart is filled with aching, but is being warmly embraced. i sat through the entirety of chapter twelve BAWLING.
"All this love coming to me, I didn’t know what to do with it." i kept mirroring this sequence between Lily and August with how tenderly my own mother-like figures treat me, my very own August and Rosaleen, how i’ve always wanted to be held and approached and understood.
Lily finally feeling loved.
