Love Quote by Sarah Wilkins
“Everything whirled around me, an uncontrollable blur. Waiting. Waiting. For an answer, for a response. I didn't know how to stop or slow down or keep myself from turning to dust on the floor. I touched his cheek. Gently, like a ghost. Like if he shattered, I would shatter too. Because I would. Because I was exposed, an open wound.”
