What We Inherit Quotes

“When you send away someone you love, you fantasize about the front door. You sense their familiar shoulders fill its frame when your back is turned; every creak of the screen sticks in your throat. You lie in bed not wondering if you locked up the house but willing someone you're not sure you'll recognize to enter it.”
