“Well, I remember this girl. I am not whole without her. I am not alive without her. When she was with me I was more alive than I have ever been, and not only when she was pleasant either. Even when we were fighting I was whole.”

“This is called a piqué machine, it sews that finest stitch, called piqué, requires far more skill than the other stitches....
