“My heartbeat faltered. He pulled away, taking a little piece of my heart with him.”
“It was as if every day a piece of my heart was plucked out by birds and carried away little by little.”
“He pulled me closer. kneeling in front of me,he kissed me intensely and i felt right. Morning and evening slipped away. it was just us. Silence surrounded us. My heart leapt and i kiss him back, knowing so truly that i loved him. My heart cried and I pulled away, knowing so truly that he had betrayed me.”
“Alex took a piece of my heart with him when he left.”
“That simple act stole my breath, my heart. But even as he pulled away, I realized that he couldn't steal something he already had.”
“My little dog—a heartbeat at my feet.”
