“And without thinking, without planning it, without worrying about the fact that fifty people were watching, Harry kissed her.”

“Harry looked around; there was Ginny running toward him; she had a hard blazing look in her face as she threw her arms around him. And without thinking, without planning it, without worrying about the fact that fifty people were watching, Harry kissed her. After several long moments, or it might have been half an hour-or possibly several sunlit days- they broke apart.”

“Then he kissed her without breathing, without thinking. He kissed her until his entire body was tingling from the taste of her.”

“Cry about the simple hell people give other people- without even thinking. Cry about the hell white people give colored folks, without even stopping to think that they're people too.”

“Without stopping kissing her, he swept her up into his arms. They stood in the motel lobby kissing until someone called, "Get a room."Donia pulled back and laughed. "That was the plan. They said no.”

“And I realize that there is nothing to worry about without first wanting to be alive a certain way.That is somewhat relaxing to think.”
