“She wanted to walk into a crowded restaurant where a man would look up and take her into his arms with his eyes. She wanted to know what it was like to feel that she was beautiful to someone and had been eagerly waited for”

“It felt odd to realize she was frightened more by what he might know, and not of what he might be.”
