Quotes
~The dirt covered ground surrounding the bon fire was full of bodies—mingling, flirting, and drinking. She heard a shrill squeal and splash behind her. Why was she here again? Why wasn’t she under her covers reading, where she could be living Elizabeth Bennet’s life? In theory, she should be enjoying herself. She was college bound after all, leaving the dregs of this podunk town far behind. But recent events had shaken her confidence. Recent events had made her question whether she had the strength to make it on her own, college and a new city. A city that had more than a Shell Station and a Dairy Queen. ~

~Alcohol and a broken heart proved to be
a toxic combination. In the months and years that followed she’d often wonder
how her life would’ve been different if she’d stayed home or turned Nate down
and kept to the shadows of the oak tree that night. But pondering the events
that had already come to pass was an act of futility and never offered her
anything other than frustration.~
~As a mom she was used to wearing many hats, while using
both hands.~
~Men, either were proficient at faking unconsciousness, or
became deaf after midnight.~
~Sometimes she came with a scream, sometimes a
whimper…sometimes not all. ~
~Men were notoriously obtuse when it came to a woman’s
complex emotions. Whether the male sex was truly in the dark, or played at it
flawlessly, would most likely remain a mystery.~
~ She’d give anything to lose the uneasy feeling just
beneath her skin. It crawled and itched. Kept her up at night. Uncertainty, not
of what tomorrow would bring, but what she wanted from it. ~
~They always joked about who would be the hotter mom when
their kids married each other. Lucy said tan skin ages slower, so she would win
hands down since Georgia’s “pasty white face will crack like a pie crust.”
Georgia always said she would look statuesque and lean no matter her age, while
Lucy’s “short veiny legs will make her look like a Hispanic hobbit in drag.”~
