•
“you still have a lot of time to make yourself be what you want. there's still lots of good in the world. Tell dally. i don't think he knows”

audrey, wait! // robin benway
“if you really want to know something about me, you should know this: i like my music loud. you have to turn it up so that your chest shakes and the drums get in between your ribs like a heartbeat and the bass goes up your spine and fizzles your brain and all you can do is dance or spin in a circle or just scream along because you know that however this music makes you feel, it’s exactly right”
•
“it's funny how bed and pillows and covers can change a conversation. words turn quiet and you mean more and say less. it's like you can build your own little world, population: 2”

and it does”
