Several years ago, while I was still very much a wannabe writer with barely one badly-drafted novel to my name, a dear friend here in Houston, Andrea White, invited me to join her in a new critique group with another of her friends, Chris Cander.

Quotes by Caroline Leech (?)

“And if he was kind and friendly and funny, and if he told you about places so beautiful that you wanted to go with him to see them, and if he listened to you talk like he actually cared about what you were saying?
And if he tried to protect you when other people tried to tell you what to do, as if they owned you? And if he has the handsomest face you've ever seen, no matter if the skin has been damaged, because he's just lovely even so?”
