“There was a lot about my life that was crappy, now that I couldn't talk. But if I hadn't gotten drunk that night, if I hadn't gotten in that accident, would I have ever had this moment? Lying there in the sun, holding Sam's hand like time didn't exist and the real world couldn't touch us? Somehow I didn't think so.” LoveFriendshipAcceptingAcceptanceDepressionInfiniteRealisticRealismAcceptFeeling Infinite Book:What I Didn't Say Source: What I Didn't Say
“We didn't say or write anything for a long time. Normally silence like that was uncomfortable and awkward. Like you needed to say something to fill the empty space in the air. But it didn't feel like that with Samantha. Maybe it was because I couldn't say anything and fill the quiet, but I thought it was more about two people just being with each other, enjoying the slowdown and the rare sunshine.” LoveFriendshipQuietUncomfortableAwkwardMuteMutedBeing Mute Book:What I Didn't Say Source: What I Didn't Say
