Quotes by Ann Weisgarber (?)

“I want a woman that can give him things I can’t. I want better for him, the right way to talk, manners and suchlike. Now, me and you, we don’t much know each other anymore, but I recall this about you. You do things right.”
― Ann Weisgarber, The Promise: A Novel

“She put one hand up on the broad crest of his shoulder and he took the other, swallowing it up inside of his. They stood straight as could be, her looking up at him, and him looking at her. I played on but them two were stuck, that spark shooting between them. Around them, people gave each other high-eyebrow looks.”
― Ann Weisgarber, The Promise

“The last note drifted away, swallowed up by the whispering surf. A kind of clumsiness came over the dancers as they broke apart, the swell of the music still in their blood but the planked floor flat under their feet.”
― Ann Weisgarber, The Promise
