"How could he convey to someone who'd
never even met her the way she always smelled like rain, or how
his stomach knotted up every time he saw her shake loose her hair
from its braid? How could he describe how it felt when she
finished his sentences, turn around the mug they were
sharing so that her mouth landed where his had been? How did he
explain the way they could be in a locker room, or underwater, or
in the piney woods of Maine, bus as long as Em was with him, he
was at home?"
