“You’ve been silent your whole life. You were silent when we met, silent when you suffered. Silent when life kept hitting you. I was like that too, a little. But not like you. You are a stillness. And I tried to move you. It didn’t work. But that doesn’t mean you didn’t move me. I heard everything you didn’t say. I heard it so loudly that I couldn’t shut it off. Your silence, Senna, I hear it so loudly.”
― Tarryn Fisher, Mud Vein

“You love me. Real or not real?"

― Suzanne Collins, Mockingjay

“His lips move against my hair. “I’m sorry, Senna.”

I cry into his chest. Not because he couldn’t. Because he wanted to.”
