In the middle of...

It's Thursday... so here are a few excerpts I dog-eared to share with you lovies:

"Her collarbone was a mystery.
'I knew you were beautiful under there," I said,

and this was the first spot on her I kissed."

"I looked at her, and for just a splinter of a minute saw the woman she used to be-- one who knew where to find her smile, instead of having to rummage for it; one who always messed up punch lines and still got a laugh; one who could reel me in without even trying."
