“I don't know how you say good-bye to whom and what you love. I don't know a painless way to do it, don't know the words to capture a heart so full and a longing so intense.”
Laura Wiess, How It Ends

Laura Wiess, Leftovers

“Ignorance of the outcome doesn't exempt you from the consequences.”
Laura Wiess, Leftovers
