The past is with me; the present is here. The future is unmapped and changeable. Ours for the imagining: spreading out before us. Sunlight filled, deep blue, and the darkness.Cath Crowley

I love lying here with you, under the books.Cath Crowley

But I love you, and before you say it words do matter. They're not pointless. If they were pointless then they couldn't start revolutions and they wouldn't change history and they wouldn't be the things that you think about every night before you go to sleep. If they were just words we wouldn't listen to songs, we wouldn't beg to be read to when we're kids. If they were just words, then they'd have no meaning and stories wouldn't have been around since before humans could write. We wouldn't have learned to write. If they were just words then people wouldn't fall in love because of them, feel bad because of them, ache because of them, stop aching because of them, have sex, quite a lot of the time, because of them. .Cath Crowley

I'll never throw these small things away. There will never be a time when I don't want them, all the tiny parts of Cal that made a life.Cath Crowley

As if all the years haven't dulled that moment. She's staring at a spot of air in front of it, and I know, in that spot of air, is her son.Cath Crowley

That's what we think because we can't imagine what it's like to not exist.Cath Crowley
