MUST. REMEMBER. TO BREATHE.

"I saw all of those thoughts coming to him in a flood. And then I saw him try to build up a dam against them."

I couldn't help but smile at him. “Thanks for defending me.”

His eyes found mine again, and I saw the years and years of our friendship there within them. “Always.”

The garden was dark, but I saw immediately that it was not unoccupied (as the occupant was sitting and reading by the bright light of a torch).

“Oh,” I said. “I didn’t know you were out here.”

Margaret Wilkes looked up from her book. “That’s rather the idea.”

*happy sigh*

Was fangirling last night to my niece about this book because I needed to not be alone in my present reading delight 😆💜

“I rather think people will wonder at it,” I said tentatively.

He leaned across the table to me, saying in a stage whisper, “We needn't tell them.”

*reminds herself to breathe*

MY WORD, this book gets to my emotions😭

“One does get tired of always being cheerful, doesn’t one?” I said then.

Gerald sighed. “One does. At least, most ones,” he smirked. “For some ones, I believe constant cheerfulness is quite natural.”

I narrowed my eyes. “I don’t trust those ones.”

Gerald laughed, leaning towards me to whisper, “Neither do I.”

"Despite everything, it was still inescapably true that my heart beat wildly every time I saw Gerald Wilkes; he still made me feel all warm and lightheaded and fizzy."
