follow me to the forest floor / where the deer may roam and the blue jays soar / and make of yourself an offering / to the forest floor in the midst of spring

'You are the best.' 'I am not,' he replied, sliding his arms around my waist. 'But I will take the compliment anyway.' I leaned in then, kissing him as the wind blew over us, ruffling the nearby gardenia bushes. I wanted it to last forever, but then I heard Gordon tittering, the way she did when she caught us like this together, and she always caught us like this together. 'Gordon,' Roo said, pulling away but keeping his eyes on me. 'Don't you have a closet to get into or something?' 'It wasn't a closet!' she shot back as she did every time he said this, which was equally as often. 'It was a shed and I was fine.'

‘Are you coming back to our side?’ With kids, you never wanted to make promises you couldn’t keep. I’d learned that early, when my dad was often the bad guy, reining my mom in from her pie-in-the-sky promises. He wanted to protect me, I knew, and Emma would have let him. But Saylor, with her Calvander blood, had other ideas. ‘Yeah,’ I told Gordon as we sat there. ‘I am.’

It makes me nervous.’ ‘Are you kidding?’ she snorted. ‘You’re a good student with a bright future who lives in a big house with a nice, normal family. Forget Gordon. I want to be like you.’ It said something that this description, so easily put, did not describe me in my mind at all. ‘I’m also an anxious person with a dead mom who was an addict, trying to figure out what that means for me in my own life.’ ‘In your big house with your normal family, she added, raising a brow. I made a face.
