“We are fundamentally connected.  We met when we were broken seeds, when we were still being formed into something.  We had to grow together to survive.  Some part of us will always be like that, connected, growing together.  We're different flowers, but we were nurtured from the same damaged root.”

… She gripped my hair in both hands, stroking through the strands.
I started kissing her skin, and quickly got carried away.

It worked. They gave us a moment of privacy. Well, more like an hour.”

“The real romance in life didn’t come in that first sweet taste of love, as profound and life changing as it was. There was love then, yes. Obsession, passion, infatuation. All of that and more.
But the true romance came from the slow lapse of time, the inexorable passing of days, weeks, months, years decades.

Because I would never have enough.”
