John Green
But my miracle was different. My miracle was this: out of all the houses in all the subdivisions in all of Florida, I ended up living next door to Margo Roth Spiegelman.
John Green
I spy with my little eye a great story.
John Green
We're invisible. I've never been here with someone else. It's different being invisible with someone.
John Green
