I look around the book café, Anavrin, as I wait to get an apron for my first work shift tomorrow. I see you. You're eyeing some produce, shopping for your dinner tonight.

Hello... you.

No, fuck, no, I'm not doing that. I'm not gonna try to figure out who you are, why you look so concerned about the state of that heirloom tomato...

You bump into another customer and apologize, then look back to the tomato in your hand.

You have a way with people. They just like you. Your shirt is faded, but fresh. You like to take care of things. Your shoes are clean, but worn. You walk in a town where nobody walks.

I won't say hello. I'll accidentally bump into you. You'll never even know I was here...

You turn and look at me.

“The only thing crueler than a cage so small that a bird can’t fly is a cage so large that a bird thinks it can fly. Only a monster would lock a bird in here and call himself an animal lover.”

“Some people on this earth receive love, get married, and honeymoon in Cabo. Others do not. Some people read alone on the sofa and some people read together, in bed. That’s life.”

"I’m Not A ‘Maybe.’ I’m The One."

“You know, the first step to fixing something is to know no matter how destroyed it seems, it can always be saved.”

“I know it's not cool to say and it's not big and flashy but I love books, and I want my life to be about what I actually love.”

"This is where I had to be exactly to meet you. There you were with your books and your hat. So close but worlds away. I will find a way to approach you. See you soon neighbor."

"Statistics say that the culprit is usually the jealous boyfriend or the spiteful lover."

"You wear the wide blouse, you do not want to be eaten with your eyes. But your bracelets tinkle, you want to get attention."

"I believe in love at first sight"

"There are terrifying people in the world. It’s important to be safe and that’s why I have to do what I’m going to do"

"Jealousy brought out the best in me"

"You want to feel safe, dear, you want someone to make you pancakes"

"The first thing my beloved Internet gave me was your address."

"The universe has a funny way of keeping us humble. That beating was karmic. I know it. I did a bad thing today but for a good reason, and if there is any justice in the world, you are the reward for all of my suffering."
