“I killed her once and died for her many times and I still have nothing to show for it. I always search for her ; I always remember her. I carry the hope that someday she will remember me.”

“I always search for her; I always remember her. I carry the hope that someday she will remember me.”

“Riley was quiet for a minute. She gathered her blanket all around her. "Paul always loved you, Alice. He knows I know that. I know he loves me, too. But it's different."Alice opened her mouth, but nothing came out at first. "He loved me once. But I think that part is over," she said slowly."No, it's not. It hasn't even begun." Riley took Alice's bare foot in her hand and squeezed it. "I told him, though, that he better be good to you. When you came along, I said I'd share you, but I told him to remember that you're my sister. I loved you first."”

“I love her. I need her. I gave away everything I had for her. I just wanted her to know me.”

“I knew her hair and her coloring and her shapes would be different next time, but the way she wore her body would keep on.”

“I did the searching and remembering, she did the disappearing and the forgetting.”

“I did love her. I've loved her from the first time I saw her.”
