In The Event This Doesn't Fall Apart

by Shannon Lee Barry

It feels like coming home.

I felt too lucky to have found you out of all of the people I have ever met and almost never met in all the world.

Happiness is bigger and better with you. I guess that’s just love when it’s good.

It never occurred to me that I could be this safe and this happy at the same time.

There is a simplicity to it. And a terrible, deep, complexity. There is invariably more to lose. But there we sat, in front of everything we had to gain.

the kind of character I’d write into my life if I had any control over that sort of thing. I’d like to thank whoever it is that holds the pen.
