The In-Between Bookstore Quotes

“Michael looks at me for a long time. I can hear my heart pounding through the seconds, so loud I’m half convinced he can hear it too. And then he takes a step forward, tentatively, like he’s giving me a chance to change my mind. His fingers run along my jaw and he leans down and he kisses me again. I reach up and wrap my fingers around the back of his neck. I feel weightless and like I’m careening over a cliff at the same time. He pulls away and I let him go. I wait, holding my breath.”

“I can't shake the feeling that I'm about to turn thirty, and all I'll have to show for it is an unemployment check, and overdrawn bank account, two useless degrees, and a city that's never quite managed to feel like home.”
