“I fell in love with you the day that I met you, and then I fell in love with the person you remembered you are. I got to fall in love with you twice. That’s— that’s magic.

It’s because you fight and you care and you’re always kind but never easy, and you won’t let anything take that away from you. You’re my hero, Jane. I don’t care if you think you’re not one. You are.”
― Casey McQuiston, One Last Stop

I leave the house each morning with my thermos of coffee, thinking. I walk down our street, turn the corner, walk a few more blocks, and board the bus, thinking.

“Do you remember, darling
A year ago today
When we gave ourselves to each other
Before you went away
At the end of that pleasant summer weather
Which we had spent by the sea together?

How little we knew, my darling,
All that the year would bring!
Did I think of the wretched mornings
When I should kiss my ring
And long with all my heart to see
The girl who gave the ring to me?

We have not been sorry darling
We loved each other so-
We will not take back the promises
We made a year ago-

And so again, my darling
I give myself to you,
With graver thought than a year ago
With love that is deep and true.”
― Sarah Orne Jewett

― Ashley Herring Blake, Delilah Green Doesn't Care

“Claire pressed her forehead to Delilah’s, kissed her slowly, then adjusted her body so their legs were intertwined like pretzels, thighs pressing against each other's centers. Delilah gasped at the contact. The wet slide of the other woman's skin against hers was almost too much to bear. It was hot, and intimate, wild and safe all at once.”
― Ashley Herring Blake, Delilah Green Doesn't Care
