My eyes were wide and dark, unshadowed by disappointment or compassion. My teeth were new and awkward, the two front ones serrated at the bottom like a bread knife, but I was too young to try to smile with my lips closed or laugh behind my hand. I never thought my face would change. I thought my childhood would go one forever. Instead, I grew out my bangs and grew up.”
