Ann Aguirre
Show, not tell, right? Action, not words. You don’t want to hear how sorry I am or how things will be different this time. You want to see it with your own eyes. And until I can show you that, you won’t tell me what I want to hear.
Ann Aguirre
He'd said the sun could burn me. It certainly looked angry enough, all orange and glowing mad.
Ann Aguirre
I’d never known it was possible to love as he did— with complete devotion yet devoid of promises.
Ann Aguirre
There’s a hollow where he used to be, and it echoes with self-imposed loss.

Ann Aguirre
Through the damp fabric of my coverall, bundled in my blanket, I feel naked. Raw. He sees more than I want, more than I can bear. It’s like standing before him ... while he stares at my scars, pitiless and unmoved.
