Jonathan Safran Foer Quote
She was extending a hand that I didn't know how to take, so I broke its fingers with my silence, she said, You don't want to talk to me, do you? I took my daybook out of my knapsack and found the next blank page, the second to last. I don't speak, I wrote. I'm sorry. She looked at the piece of paper, then at me, then back at the piece of paper, she covered her eyes with her hands and cried, tears seeped between her fingers, she cried and cried and cried, there weren't any napkins nearby, so I ripped the page from the book - I don't speak. I'm sorry - and used it to dry her cheeks, my explanation and apology ran down her face like mascara, she took my pen from me and wrote on the next blank page of my daybook, the final one:Please marry me
