Knew Quote by Curtis Sittenfeld

“...if he didn't fully understand where I came from, he understood who I was now -- he knew how well done I liked my steak, knew the color of my toothbrush, the expression I made when I realized I'd forgotten to roll up my car window before it rained.” quote by Curtis Sittenfeld
