Gayle Forman
My first impulse is not to grab her or kiss her or yell at her. I simple want to touch her cheek, still flushed from the night's performance. I want to cut through the space that separates us, measured in feet-not miles, not continents, not years-and to take a callused finger to her face.
Gayle Forman

Gayle Forman
And I kissed him back so hard, like I was trying to merge our bodies through our lips.
Gayle Forman
