“Sam's eyes studied my lips and I studied hers. We each leaned in closer until our foreheads were touching. It felt like currents of electricity were running through the two of us, making me feel like I was going to melt from the intensity.” LoveKissingKiss Book:What I Didn't Say Source: What I Didn't Say
“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
“There was a lot of pain in that kiss. There was so much hurt and so much fear in it. I felt tears rolling down the both of our faces. But, in that kiss, there was even more want. We both wanted to smother out that pain, to not have so many horrible things in the all too recent past, to just be normal, to do the types of things we were supposed to be dealing with besides death and disability.” LovePainDeathFearHurtTearsDepressionKissDisabilityCrying Book:What I Didn't Say Source: What I Didn't Say
