About This Quote

I missed you so much," she breathed.I tilted my head back and put my hands on her shoulders. I could hardly believe this was happening. I was finally getting to touch her. To kiss her.

It was all happening. This excerpt is from the book, "Our Souls at Night," by Kent Haruf, in which he describes the feelings of two elderly people who live together in a small house in Colorado. They are complete strangers, but they have formed an intimate relationship over the past year and both feel comfortable enough to tell each other how they really feel.

The main character says at one point, "The great thing about words like favorite and missed is that they're almost too big for us to say."
