About This Quote
This quote comes from the book, The Crane Wife by Maggie Gee. The main character, Shao Xuan, is trying to get over his ex-girlfriend. He tells the story of how he meets her. He spots her at a train station but can't tell if she is there or not...until she steps out of the darkness.
He sees her and knows she is there, but he doesn't know how he knows. You can feel someone's presence even when you can't see them, but only because you know they are there.
