Quote Detail

In the end, there wasn__ a right thing to say, only a right thing to do. So I sat further up on the bed and put my hand on Manuelle__ cheek and our mouths did the rest, finding each other even though our eyes were closed. I ceased to care about anything that wasn__ her body or mine as we wrapped ourselves around each other on the flower patterned quilt and I was closer to her than I__ ever been before. It wasn__ that we left therest of the world behind; it was the opposite. I could feel the world turning underneath us, I could hear birds outside and people laughing, and I felt that I waspart of it at last. With no part of my skin not touching Manuelle__, I was part of the world at last. Or maybe I__ romanticizing, and we were just two kids doing everything two kids can do in a cramped room at the back of a caravan.
