Nothing embarrassed her. I admired that so much, because everything embarrassed me, and that hurt me. She loved to jump on her bed.

I thought about birds. Could they fly if there wasnโt someone, somewhere, laughing?

Who, if I cried, would hear me among the angelic orders?

I hadnโt a bloody clue where I was.
