I love surprises! That's what is great about reading. When you open a book, you never know what you'll find.
Jerry SpinelliTell me I didn't imagine it, Leo. Tell me that even though our bodies were in seperate states, our star selves shared an enchanted place. Tell me that right around noon today (eastern time) you had the strangest sensation: a tiny chill on your shoulder...a flutter in the heart...a shadow of strawberry-banana crossing your tongue...tell me you whispered my name.
Jerry SpinelliShe was elusive. She was today. She was tomorrow. She was the faintest scent of a cactus flower, the flitting shadow of an elf owl. We did not know what to make of her. In our minds we tried to pin her to a cork board like a butterfly, but the pin merely went through and away she flew.
Jerry SpinelliIโll still be missing you as much as ever. Iโl still smile at the memory of you. Iโll still be - Okay, Iโll say it again - loving you, but I wonโt abandon myseld for you. I cannot be faithful to you without being faithful to myself.
