Ann Aguirre
If I ever win you, he said, anger bright in his pale eyes, it will be because you want me more. Not because he's gone. I'm nobody's second best.
Ann Aguirre
After people have gone, you forget their faults, and you recall the ideal more than the person.
Ann Aguirre

Ann Aguirre
I don’t like anyone knowing anything about me that I didn’t choose to tell them.
