“Blaire, tell me what you want me to do. I’ll do whatever it is you need.”
“I'm not doing anything, and yet I'm also doing the most important thing a man can do: I'm listening to what I needed to hear from myself.”
“ChoiceI needed it like I needed air.Bit no one could hear me. No one could listen. No words. No sound.No voice.I couldn't even dream myself away.Choices were made.None of them mine.At first I wondered if it was hell.And then I knew it was.”
“I’ll do whatever you want, whatever you need. Anything. Just take me back.”
“I don’t need a hearing aid—I need a listening aid. And this aid, she’d better be pleasing to look at.”
