"We are lucky, even the worst of us, because daylight comes."
"You sat down and I noticed your hands – long fingers, articulated at the joints; if you touched me, what would happen?"
"That first night, in the unsteady single bed, I lay awake while you slept. I was listening to the unfamiliar noises, and thinking about the miracle of the most unfamiliar of them all – you breathing next to me."

"Whether it was the quality of light, or the clarity of my feelings for you, I don’t know, but there was softness and no blurring. ‘This is not a lie,’ I said to myself. ‘It may not hold, but it is true.’"

"What I remember is love – all love – love of this dirt road, this sunrise, a day by the river, the stranger I met in a cafe.

No wonder I am surprised if you do."

"‘Keep me by you,’ he said. It was almost a prayer, but like most of us he prayed for one thing, and set his life on course for elsewhere."
"This one, when he had been waiting for her, and when he had seen her before she had seen him, and he was able to watch her, as only strangers can and lovers long to do."
"Can you leave someone and be with them? She thought you could."
