I go away, into my head, for hours and weeks at a time, and I hate that I miss everything. It's pretty selfish to want to pause other people, isn't it?
Rainbow Rowell
Cath wished she didn't use the word just so much. It was her passive-aggressive tell, like someone who twitched when they were lying.
Rainbow Rowell
