Then at the top of the hill, the road forks. Which just figures. You gotta be kidding. I say. One part of the road goes left, the other goes right. (Well, it's a Fork ain't it?)
Patrick Ness

Patrick Ness
So we forgive each other? The crooked smile climbs up one more time. Again? And I look right into his eyes, right into him as far as I can see, because I want him to hear me, I want him to hear me with everything I mean and feel and say. Always, I say to him. Every time.
Patrick Ness
We just keep on having to save each other, he says. We ever gonna be even? I hope not, I say
Patrick Ness
You can't say everything, so you don't say nothing.
Patrick Ness
