“And then she walked out of my life forever. Too bad she was hitchhiking. I should have picked her up.”

“He was slumped in the back, gazing out of the window, as though his parents were two people who had picked him up hitchhiking, connected to him merely by chance and proximity.”

“(D)ialogue is generally the worst choice for exposition. 'When you're writing lines...you need to focus on the way people actually talk.

“I've never picked anyone up. I don't know how to pick up guys. I usually just camouflage myself as this wonderful person and let them come to me. It's easier that way.”
