“She waited until Jeremy's footsteps receded. "I didn't know you had a brother.""Now you do." He continued writing."Do you have any other siblings?""No.""Parents?""I didn't crawl out of Hell, if that's what you are asking.”
“I loved the way he kissed me, as if he had to, as if he'd go crazy if he didn't and had nearly waited too long.”
