“Five tender apricots in a blue bowl, a brief and exact promise of things to come.”
“Ien stopped her voice with more kisses, more promises of a world filled with only them.”

“I despised their antics because I took life seriously and had a much more lofty and tender notion of romance. But I would have liked to get their attention just the same. ”
“Come on and eat with him. I promise, I won't let him kiss you again.”
