The Idea of You Quotes

“than”

“This rectangle of fancy card was a reminder that she was losing a race she didn’t know she had entered; she hadn’t heard the starter pistol, and by the time she looked up, everyone she knew of a similar age seemed to be halfway around the track.”

“Oh, your birthday! What a day that would be. I would make you a cake and decorate the house with banners, before creeping into your room with a fistful of balloons and confetti and a cupcake with a single candle in it. This would become one of our traditions, so no matter how old you got, you’d always wake to a cupcake, with pink frosting of course, and a single candle. If for any reason I couldn’t be with you on that day, you’d make one for yourself or someone you loved would buy you one, and holding that cupcake would make you feel close to me wherever you were in the world. Your birthday would be a day for great, great celebration, the day my life changed. The day I got you, the day I gave my heart away . . .”
