"I buried the lasagna, because it was better than disposing of a dead body. I’ve been burned in a relationship, but never in an oven. I’ll try harder."

"I love kiss whispers—kisspers. Loose lips are full of passionate secrets."

"The darkness has ink eyes, and if you stare long enough, you’re going to see it blink black. That’s the moment to start writing."

The dust has been collecting since the day you left, and I dare not leave even one fingerprint in it, because one should never try to touch the past.-Crystal Woods and Jarod Kintz"
