I don't get it,' Caroline said, bemused. 'She's the only one with wings. Why is that?' There were so many questions in life. You couldn't ever have all the answers. But I knew this one. It's so she can fly,' I said. Then I started to run.

You know, I think I knew you for about three weeks before I ever really saw you smile. And then one day, Morgan said something and you laughed, and I remember thinking it was really cool because it meant something. You're not the kind of person who smiles for nothing, Colie. I have to earn every one.

I couldn't tell her. I couldn't tell anyone. As long as I didn't say it aloud, it wasn't real.

Image
I've always known who I am. I might not work perfectly, or be like them, but that's okay. I know I work in my own way.

It's funny how two people can grow up in the same town, go to the same school, have the same friends, and end up so totally different. Family, or lack of it, counts for more than you'd think.

My books are so tame!

I used to worry I was entirely uninteresting, but the truth is I think if my life was more exciting I'd never have any time to write.

I wanted to be somewhere else ... Someplace where the sight of me sobbing would tie me to no one and no one to me.

I think if you're going to show a true representation of any one life, it can't be about any one thing. I try to see more of a full picture, with the romance just a single part.

The lizard stared up at us, and we stared back, taking each other in. He was little and defenseless, I felt sorry for him already. This was a screwed-up place he'd just come into. But he didn't have to know that. Not yet, anyway. There in that room, where it was hot and cramped, the world probably still seemed small enough to manage.

Fine...a word that you said when someone asked how you were but didn't really care to know the truth.
