“I also want you to know that you were very beautiful the last time I saw you. The silver in your hair is more becoming than you think it is, but more than that, I don't think you know how well you have made yourself from yourself. I think you would be much happier if you knew how clearly I am able to see you. Sometimes I feel it is just me who really knows you.” // from Fruiting Bodies by Kathryn Harlan
