Like it takes so little not only to change something, but to make you forget the way it once was, as well.

But even more so, it reminded me that this was all really happening. Stanford. The end of the summer. The beginning of my real life. It was no longer just creeping up, peeking over the horizon, but instead lingering in plain sight.

One word, Ted replied, dead serious, can change the whole world. There was a moment while we all considered this. Finally Lissa said to Chloe, loud enough for all of us to hear (she'd had a minibottle or two herself), I bet he did really well on his SATs.
