What we need,' Henry says, 'is a fresh start. A blank slate. Let's call her Tabula Rasa.
Very few people meet their soulmates at age six. So you gotta pass the time somehow. And Ingrid was very - patient. Overly patient. Willing to put up with odd behavior, in the hope that someday I woul...
Time, let me vanish. Then what we separate by our very presence can come together.
The pain has left but I know that it has not gone far, that it is sulking somewhere in a corner or under the bed and it will jump out when I least expect it.
