• He'd only been gone two seconds, but the room got brighter when they were together, as if they were two elements that became brilliant in proximity.

I didn't think what we had could get to this, even if you gave it a thousand years.

• The thing I was beginning to figure out about Sam and Grace, the thing about Sam not being able to function without her, was that that sort of love only worked when you were sure both people would always be around for each other.

Without Grace, Sam was a joke without a punch line.

  People, Perfect, Grace

• That night, like every other night since I’d met her, I curled Grace into my arms, listening to her parents’ muffled movements in the living room.
