Quote by Ali Hazelwood

“She blushed crimson and then almost died of shame, because— God, she had forced a married man, a father, to kiss her. Now people thought that he was having an affair. His wife was probably crying into her pillow. His kids would grow up with horrible daddy issues and become serial killers.”

They radiate out like a shockwave, tiny brilliant explosions like nothing I've ever seen. Emma is stomping onward, a path of light in her wake. I follow along, but I go slower, not wanting to take the next step until the last one has subsided, afraid that the magic will run out. It's like lightning underwater, like microscopic fireflies raging in sync. When the water calms back to darkness, I lean over, run my hand through the water. The lights follow suit, like it's my skin that's charged and not the water. I hear Emma's stomping and near-maniacal laughter get closer. "What is this?" I ask, my face only a few inches away from the water. I hadn't even noticed how warm the lake is, how soaked through my jeans are. I swirl my fingers across the surface, enchanted. "This is nature being ridiculous," Emma says. "Bioluminescent plankton. Like swimming in fireworks.”

“Apenas hablamos de nada. Solo estuvimos. Envueltos en un silencio cómodo, sin la necesidad de llenarlo con palabras. A veces lo pillaba estudiándome. O él me descubría a mí. Y nos quedábamos atrapados en ese instante, sin ir a más. Con el deseo de que sucediera. Con el miedo a que ocurriera. Contenidos. Y la pregunta no era por qué, sino hasta cuándo.”
