Stephanie Perkins Quote
Finally, I laugh. Genuine and normal sounding. And then my date says the best thing that he couldpossibly say: It’s okay. I haven’t been on one of these [dates] in a while either.My smile triples in size.Josh grins. Just give me your hand.W–what?Your hand, he repeats. Give it to me.I extend my shaking right hand. And – in a moment that is a hundred dreams come true – JoshuaWasserstein laces his fingers through mine. A staggering shock of energy shoots straight into myveins. Straight into my heart.There, he says. I’ve been waiting a long time to do that.
