“We didn’t talk much. The things I’d needed to say before didn’t matter anymore and what mattered now was too hard to hear.

Instead, we sat shivering and holding hands, and let ourselves believe we were lucky just a little while longer.” Coming Of Age1970sCanlit Book:Please Proceed to the Nearest Exit Source: Please Proceed to the Nearest Exit
