 ― Anne Rice, Interview with the Vampire

she was scared of tiny spiders, but not of plummeting to her death from a set of monkey bars. go figure.

blue lily, lily blue — there is no good word for the opposite of lonesome. one might be tempted to suggest togetherness or contentment, but the fact that these two other words bear definitions unrelated to each other perfectly displays why lonesome cannot be properly mirrored. it does not mean solitude, nor alone, nor lonely, although lonesome can contain all of those words in itself. lonesome means a state of being apart. of being other. alone-some. adam was not always alone, but he was always lonesome. he knew he was different since aligning himself more tightly with the ley line this summer. he was himself, but more powerful. himself, but less human.

❝ the most important thing to Adam Parrish, though, had always been free will, the ability to be his own master.❞

— At the end as at the start, and through all the in-betweens, I love you.
