Quote

But why would it matter? We aren't ... or...uh...weren't ... Which is it, Jess? Aren't or weren't? Present or past tense? Now or then? We haven't been talking to each other. Past imperfect tense. How appropriate.

What are your thoughts?' 'My thoughts?' I replied, before I even realized what I was saying. 'My thoughts created my world.' Mac sat up in his seat. He scrunched his curls with his hands, perplexed.
