“I wonder when, and how, she decided that what she has with him trumped the thrill of being with someone new.”
“She stared at him, horrified. And thrilled. And horrified at being thrilled.”
“I wonder how well she sleeps at night, and what kind of dreams she has. I wish I could step into them like she steps into mine.”
“She wondered how long it had been since someone had really cared about him, and showed it.”
“Her touch was as knowing and confident as her eyes, and as she focused all her attention upon me, I remembered that there is nothing so thrilling as a woman of words when she decides that the time for words is past.”
“She would wonder what had hurt her when she found her face wet with tears, and then would wonder how she could have been hurt without knowing it.”
