I wander downstairs the next morning, and the house is eerily quiet.

Mom’s car’s not in the driveway, and neither is Tennyson’s, Maryanne’s (thank God), or Oliver’s. I wonder where they’ve all gone without me but feel in the same breath an air of gratefulness to not have to deal with anyone’s shit first thing.

And I do mean beautiful, like, pricks-you-in-the-heart, painfully beautiful.

He could toss me around like a rag doll. And then he’s got those eyes you could dive into and that mouth that always looks bitten and that strange gentleness about him that somehow never makes him seem less strong.
