"do you know the feeling when you look at someone and your stomach
suddenly starts caving in on itself? (and even if it's for a
second) you literally cannot breathe. do you know how it feels when
your mind draws a blank? your throat, then, tightens up like a
coiled rope gripping around a suffocating neck. no? well, even if
you don't, you should know that that's what you do to me."
