“If I were standing right beside her, I probably would have heard her heart breaking. It would have sounded like the cracking of a wooden bat connecting with a baseball. No, that was too clean of a break. It would have sounded like rain from a powerful thunderstorm pounding on a tin roof. Millions of drops relentlessly pounding away on the surface until it shattered into billions of tiny pieces. Pieces Emily couldn’t put back together by herself.”
“And like a soprano shattering glass, Juliet heard something snap deep inside.It was the sound of her heart breaking.”
“I think there's a secret part of me that would like to drop my entire life off a cliff and watch it break into a million pieces”
“If silence could break bones, I would shatter right now, into pieces of stomachache and blueprints and desperation.”
“I would have to break the ice with a warm smile that would melt her heart.”
“In that moment her heart fell out of her chest. Like the glass filled vase he had brought to her, it dropped. It was shattered into a million small pieces.”
