“I don't know how I'd made it seventeen years without kissing. It was the finest thing I'd ever known. Like stumbling into heaven.”
“I don't think I'd have been in such a hurry to reach adulthood if I'd known the whole thing was going to be ad-libbed.”
“I'd never realized how changeless this changeable island was until it turned into something different than I'd ever known.”
“I'd like to cry now. Don't know how.”
“I'd never get to see heaven, but at least I got to feel it once in a kiss.”
“It's funny how this total stranger could relate to me better than anyone else I'd ever met. It was as if I'd known her my entire life.”
