"...if she's smart, she loves herself more than anything. I'm not saying it's a bad thing. I think it's...the best thing, actually. We should all love ourselves more than anything. You should put yourself before everything else, because in the end, you're the only person you've got, right? You're the only one you can really depend on."

"You left here without leaving a note."
He looked up, eyes shining. "I could leave you one now."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah. Dear Sophie. I will be staying in Acadia for the foreseeable future. I regret to inform you that you're stuck with me." He swallowed. "And that I love you."

August smiled, tentatively. "Fondest—"
I was already kissing him.

He was regarding me closely, a complicated look in his eyes. "You have something on your face," he said, and I touched my fingers to my mouth, but he shook his head. He moved closer and reached out a hand, resting his fingertips lightly against the side of my face, looking intently as he brushed his thumb against my cheek.
"Did you get it?" I murmured.
"I might have just made it up," he murmured back.

I have no idea how long August and I made out. If you told me seasons had changed, a dozen Super Bowls had come and gone, society was now on the iPhone 54X—I'd believe it. Because it was impossible to mark time, to gauge it, to even care, with August's mouth on mine, my hands in his hair.

I had the sudden urge to grab both sides of his face and kiss him soundly.
Instead, I just nodded.
"Right."

"Why are you here in Acadia? With us, on this porch right now?" Brit replied.
"I mean, I'm on the porch because I followed Sophie."
"We're all here on the porch because we followed Sophie somewhere at some point in our lives, but like why are you here in town?"

"Nice to meet you," Flora said.
"That's what I've heard," he replied, and my eyes snapped toward him.
"That was my joke! I said that when we met!"
"Did you?" His face was totally stoic, but there was something alight in his eyes.
"I did."
"Oh. So you own the copyright?"
"Yes. That shit is in the Library of Congress."

"I didn't know anyone was home."
"You thought Harper was watching herself?"
"I mean, she does seem pretty independent for a baby. I saw her change the oil on the car yesterday."
"Yeah, but she always forgets to coat the gasket."
