I let it all out--my mom's date,my dad's conversation,my confusion about it all.Caleb doesn't laugh,he doesn't pull away,he doesn't talk .. He just lets me be me. When I settle down,I lean back and witness the mess I've made on his shirt.I made ur shirt all gross, I say between sniffles. Forget the shirt.What's going on? I could.nt understand a word you mumbled into my chest. Now I'm half laughing and half crying. ✨ Simone Elkeles (2011). Leaving Paradise, p.201, North Star Editions, Inc.
