“Summer is neon: buzzing, pulsing, solar-powered and high on its own supply”

“I see more stars online than in the sky”

“This planet of squirrels and romance and basketball and moonlight”

“It was too hot to go fishing, or to do much of anything besides drink beer in bars”

“There is no democracy in any love relation: only mercy.”

“It is my job, we are both aware, to adore and mollify you”

“We dream of flip phones”

“We don’t know why we do or don’t like someone. We just feel it.”

“Do you only write when you’re a little drunk?”

“She squeezes my hands very tight, and I squeeze back”

“I remember everything, even your ears”

“Is to categorise happiness, to compare it, to scare it away?”
