How could he not see all the ways he'd changed my life?…
““How could he not see all the ways he'd changed my life? How could he not know- But he didn't. It was in the way he turned his head away, when I just stood there. In the way he closed his eyes. In the small, self-mocking smile that played around his lips that I didn't understand but knew couldn't be good.””
