“There was a part of her she hadn’t yet allowed to be born because it was too beautiful for this place”
“Supposedly she’d died, but here she was again–somewhat changed, but you couldn’t kill her. Not when the truest part of her hadn’t even been born.”
“I fell in love with her the moment she was late, though neither one of us knew it at the time because she hadn’t arrived yet.”
“Ah, the good ol’ days. I remember those days. That was before your time. It was before my time too, because I didn’t have a watch, and I hadn’t been born yet.”
“Hedge was enthralled by her symmetry, yet the word was too cool and dry. She was beautiful.”
“She looked like she was waking up in a strange place—only she knew she hadn’t gone to sleep yet, and that this was actually life.”
