Wendelin Van DraanenWhat he did to my heart was sheer, inexplicable, magic.
About This Quote
As a child, I fell in love with a tall, handsome man who was the complete opposite of me. His hair was long and floppy, his eyes were deep brown, and he had a gentle voice. I was attracted to him in the most superficial way possible. We played together all the time, so when he was around my heart skipped a beat every time he spoke to me.
Even though I tried my best to pretend that I wasn’t interested in him, I was. He became the only boy I wanted to play with.
