I think a lot of people still fantasise about that first love and what might happen if they rekindled the relationship.

I'm an impulse buyer. I don't really go out with a list.

I feel all agitated, like one of those snow globes you see resting peacefully on shop counters. I was perfectly happy being an ordinary, dull little Swiss village. But now Jack Harper’s come and shaken me up, and there are snowflakes all over the place, whirling around until I don’t know what I think anymore. And bits of glitter, too. Tiny bits of shiny, secret excitement.

It's a GIRL. It's a little girl, with scrunched-up petal lips and a tuft of dark hair and hands in tiny fits, up by her ears. All that time, that's who was in there. And it's weird, but the minute I saw her I just thought: IT'S YOU. Of course it is.

We're all confused, Samantha. We all need more time to think. That's life. Get over it.

I had gone to Oxford to read music. I had done music all my life, but when I got to college I didn't want to do it anymore.

I'm lying. I don't just need someone like you. I need you.
