“Though it has been a long time, it sometimes feels like it was yesterday. I can hardly remember the names of the girls who came before her, and after her there was only Liz. But I can recall with unbelievable clarity almost everything that happened during the time I spent with Annika. Probably because no one has ever loved me as fiercely and unconditionally as she did. I look over at Nate. "Did you ever fall in love with a girl who was different? Not just from any girl you'd ever dated before, but from most people in general?" Nate signals the bartender for another beer. "Marched to the beat of a different drum, did she?" "She marched to the beat of an entirely different band. One you've never heard of and under no circumstances ever expected to like.” — Tracey Garvis Graves
