The Two of Us

by Taylor Torres

But life isn’t known for giving us what we want.

Being touched by someone can feel meaningless until you’re touched by the right person.

Something blooms inside of me and I want to water it every day and let it grow because it’s one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever felt.

I seriously consider chucking my carton of orange juice in their direction.

“Some things are easier to say in the dark.”

“Tally, I swear, if Jeremy force-feeds my cat asparagus, I’ll kill him.”
