“Something about her suggested that her leisure activities included wrestling large woodland animals and banging bricks together.”

“Looking at dead bodies wasn’t really very high on her Things-Chess-Enjoys list. And yeah, her total knowledge on what people in relationships did might fill a shot glass—especially if she used extra-large letters to write SEX—but something told her “looking at dead bodies” wasn’t a generally accepted togetherness-type activity, either.”

“I love everything about her, including her talent for breaking my heart.”

“Her hands twisted restlessly together like a pair of pink and hairless animals at play.”
