“I began to know that each morning reasserted the problems of night before, that sleep suspended all but changed nothing, that you couldn’t make yourself over between dawn and dusk.”
“I just want to be floating, suspended here in my California time capsule with neither yesterday's dusk or tomorrow's dawn anywhere on the horizon.”
“All the mortal world is a lethal enemy during those hours between dawn and dusk.”
“Dreading dusk, fearing night, praying for dawn.”
“Each morning, when you awaken, promise the dawn that you'll keep your heart as light as a feather. Commit again each night at sunset.”
“I couldn’t sleep all night,worrying that I’d gotten you in trouble. I care about you.”
