I bought you something" Willows blurts out." You bought.. What?" Willow closes her eyes for a second. She's a little surprised she's going to give it to him after all, but there's no going back now. She has to." At the bookstore." She reaches into her bag again, and pushes the package across the table towards him. Guy takes the book out of the bag slowly, Willow waits for him to look disappointed, to look confused that she would buy him such a battered, old-" I love it when used books have notes in the margins, it's the best, " Guy says as he flips through the pages. "I always imagine who read it before me." He pauses and looks at one of Prospero's speeches. "I have way too much homework to read this now, but you know what? Screw it. I want to know why it's your favorite Shakespeare. Thank you, that was really nice of you. I mean, you really didn't have to."" But I did anyway, " Willow says so quietly she's not even sure hears her. Hey, " Guy frowns for a second. "You didn't write anything in here."" Oh, I didn't even think.. I, well, I wouldn't even know what to write, " Willow says shyly." Well, maybe you'll think of something later, " he says. Willow watches Guy read the opening. There's no mistaking it. His smile is genuine, and she can't help thinking that if she can't make David look like this, at least she can do it for someone. .Julia Hoban
About This Quote
My life is filled with so much uncertainty, but I always have hope. I know things are going to work out in the end, even if it means waiting another five years, another ten years, another twenty. I have hope. If there's something in particular you'd like me to write about, please let me know.
I'll try my best. I can't promise that I'll write about all of them, but it's definitely on my to-do list.
