“Naquela noite li tudo sobre o milagre que eu era, sentado no parapeito da janela com Roger enroscado a meus pés. O livro falava e falava sobre como eu era especial e único porque havia uma única chance em um milhão de trilhões de eu me tornar eu mesmo. Se aquele único espermatozóide do Papai não tivesse encontrado aquele único óvulo de Mamãe naquele exato momento, eu teria sido alguém diferente. Isso não parecia um milagre. Parecia mais um azar.”

“There is nothing now save for this room and this woman and this story. He can feel the way the story spreads out from this point, through space and through time and so much further than he ever imagined but this is the beating, buzzing heart of it. Right here and right now. He's calm again. Relieved to have his Max back and even though he knows they both have other people they belong with there is still this room and this dance and this moment and it matters, maybe more than any of the others.”

“He feels like a delicious secret that is just for me. Like the little treat chefs hide in the kitchen for themselves for after the party is over... the oysters of the chicken, the ends of the brisket, the last piece of bacon, the corner brownie. Kissing Shawn feels like licking the bowl of frosting once the cake is finished, or eating the last spoonfuls of still-warm risotto in the pan while you are cleaning up. Extra special, private, the littlest bit naughty.”
