“We were the ones on scene when everything went down. We weren't better. We weren't worse. We were just the ones standing in the blast radius.”
“We weren't perfect, but we were perfect together.”
“We weren't meant to be somebody--we were meant to know Somebody”
“We weren't creatures from another planet. We were creatures from Hell.”
“Our nights were filled with passion and long soft gazes and sweet words. We weren't behaving ourselves, and we didn't for one moment feel guilty about that.”
“We couldn't believe how exciting it was to be together, a pair of young Americruisers on a roll. We'd lived for just twenty-five years; we weren't planning to die for fifty more. We danced and drank and went to rock shows. Our lives were just beginning, our favorite moment was right now, our favorite songs were unwritten.”
