“
You don’t have to say I love you to say I love you, you said with a shrug. All you have to do is say my name and I know.How?When I looked down at you, I was struck by how much of myself I could see in the shape of your eyes, in the light of your smile. Sa Cassidy, you instructed.Cassidy.Say…Ursula.Ursula, I parroted.Now…., and you pointed to your own chest.Willow.Can’t you hear it? you said. When you love someone, you say their name different. Like it’s safe inside your mouth.
