Music, I think, he makes me feel like music
Lauren Oliver
It's a miracle I was able to get out of the house today. It's a miracle I'm even wearing pants, a double miracle I remembered to wear shoes.
Lauren Oliver
My heart is fluid and soaring. There's no longer any space between heartbeats.
Lauren Oliver
And in that moment, the wordless thing passed between us, the thing that wasn't quite love but was so close I could believe in it sometimes.
