“She was convinced that she was anorexic, because every time she looked in the mirror she did indeed see a fat person.”

“Not fat, just not anorexic. She's soft in all the right places.”

“She doesn't know I see her every time when I look at the mirror.”

“And when she started becoming a “young lady,” and no one was allowed to look at her because she thought she was fat. And how she really wasn’t fat. And how she was actually very pretty. And how different her face looked when she realized boys thought she was pretty. And how different her face looked the first time she really liked a boy who was not on a poster on her wall. And how her face looked when she realized she was in love with that boy. I wondered how her face would look when she came out from behind those doors.”

“When I see you, I think "I wonder which face she sees when she looks into the mirror.”

“She stood in front of the mirror a long time, and finally decided she either looked like a sap or else she looked very beautiful. One or the other.”
