    That generous sprinkling of promising moments was the glitter that would soon illuminate our relationship.
  • Jelena Ranđelovićhas quoted2 years ago
    The wind was blowing hard against my back and it was inevitable that soon I would be pushed off the edge. But I wanted to choose the moment when that happened, and only once I had worked out how best to fall.
  • Jelena Ranđelovićhas quoted2 years ago
    Dark, dusty, and littered with half-buried skeletons.
  • Jelena Ranđelovićhas quoted2 years ago
    But the look you gave me suggested that with me at your side, for the first time you did not feel like an alien in this place.
  • Jelena Ranđelovićhas quoted2 years ago
    The two of us. I rolled it around on my tongue. You pressed your hand against the base of my spine and a tingle reached from there, knifing up through my body, and glistened around my cheekbones as we began to step inside.
  • Jelena Ranđelovićhas quoted2 years ago
    I’m running from silence, I thought. From being treated like a human punch bag. From being told I am disgusting, so many times that I sometimes even hear the voice say it at night. I even sense that she is in the room, saying it to me. But of course, I could not say that. So I shrugged.
  • Jelena Ranđelovićhas quoted2 years ago
    It struck me how natural it felt to move into your space.
  • Jelena Ranđelovićhas quoted2 years ago
    . I looked at you as though you had already taken me; you looked at me as if promising you would try.
  • Jelena Ranđelovićhas quoted2 years ago
    You looked me up and down and I smiled, bemused by the way you so shamelessly considered the quality of my presence.
  • Jelena Ranđelovićhas quoted2 years ago
    I want to embody this symbol for you for as long as I can, as I know you will draw from it during the dark and isolated moments that are still to come in your life.
