"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?"
