And youth. It takes that fastest of all
Kristin Hannah
It is a kiss that, once begun, never really ends. Interrupted, yes. Paused, certainly. But from that very moment onward, Vera sees the whole of her life as only a breath away from kissing him again. On that night in the park, they begin the delicate task of binding their souls together, creating a whole comprising their separate halves.
Kristin Hannah
It's not a date. I bought my own drink and I didn't shave my legs.
