“After class, if she got out early, sometimes I'd catch her downstairs writing up her notes. And she'd smile and I had to bite back every single corny thing I'd ever wanted to say, like: All off me is an invitation reaching toward you, or my fingertips ache where they haven't touched your skin or I hear the promise of us in the crescendo of every ballad and maybe I was supposed to be a bachatero instead of a pilot because all I had were torch songs for a girl I barely knew.”

“All of my imaginings about Melody were like sketch drawings in comparison to the vividness of her. And I imagined a lot, but not her warmth, her sweetness, her love for her family, her plans to go into space engineering. She laughed from her belly and it would shake her whole body. She hummed when impatient, she cursed loudly when she was happy. I collected all these moments of her, filled in my thought sketches with color and texture, painted her portrait in my mind. I don't ever want to forget, I thought, the fullness of this woman.”
