Jenny Downham
When I first saw Ellie, I knew it was her-- she was my fantasy. I didn't want it to be true, but every time I met her it was obvious, and the funny thing was that she was better than the fantasy, like I got more stuff than I'd imagined.
Jenny Downham
It hurts and hurts to have him this close. I feel sick with it.
Jenny Downham
I said I wouldn't leave her.
Jenny Downham
Is this how it is for everyone?' she whispered. 'No.' 'How do you know?' 'I just do. I've never felt this with anyone before.' 'Serious?' 'Serious. That isn't a line.' 'Kiss me,' she said. He did. Everywhere.
Jenny Downham
She needed food. Diets didn't count in a crisis.
Jenny Downham
Adam strokes my head, my face, he kisses my tears. We are blessed. Let them all go. The sound of a bird flying low across the garden. Then nothing. Nothing. A cloud passes. Nothing again. Light falls through the window, falls onto me, into me. Moments. All gathering towards this one.
Jenny Downham

Jenny Downham
Hold my hand. Don't let go.
Jenny Downham
You changed the rules of the universe when you fell in love with the enemy.
