This was what she couldn't get enough of, not if she lived forever: Harry on her skin, Harry's grateful kisses on her neck, Harry and Olive, teeming and sated, brimming over with each other, as if this house and this world had been built by God's hands for their love alone. Beatriz Williams
About This Quote

This was what she couldn't get enough of, not if she lived forever: Harry on her skin, Harry's grateful kisses on her neck, Harry and Olive, teeming and sated, brimming over with each other, as if this house and this world had been built by God's hands for their love alone. In this quote from "The Lovely Bones" by Alice Sebold, Sebold uses the word teeming to describe the growing number of people that are involved in a romantic relationship. The idea of teeming is that there is a large amount of people involved in a relationship. There are a lot of people getting married these days and it is becoming a somewhat common thing to go out with a large group rather than going it alone.
