“Now they got to look into me loving Tea Cake and see whether it was done right or not! They don't know if life is a mess of corn-meal dumplings, and if love is a bed-quilt!”
“I don't even know her yet..but if she could see me right now, I'd want her to know that I love her”
“You say you don't see any part of me. To love in all this mess and I know. You take the good and all the bad that comes with me.”
“Tea Cake, the son of the Evening Sun, had to die for loving her.”
“Do ghosts drink tea?They don't, said Tansey. But this ghost would love to see a cup of tea in front of her. It'd be lovely.”
“Finally, she's like, "I know it looks bad right now, but parents are just people. They don't always know what to do. That doesn't mean they don't love you.”
