“It felt like time stopped, like the world was on pause, and I could hear nothing but the hammering of my heartbeat in my ears as I watched for that signal. Give me that green flag, honey.”
“and even though it was dark, I knew her cheeks were the prettiest shade of pink at that moment.”
“I love you so much, Elizabeth Buxbaum.”
“my heart was in my throat as I watched her looking down at the shoes I'd bought her like she was devastated they were dirty. Honey, I would shower you with bouquets of spotless Converse if you'd let me.”
“You look best when you're you."
“The list of things I'd give up to kiss her at that moment was never-ending, yet consisted of only one word Everyfuckingthing.”
“The entire world stopped and my heart did explode.”
“My Libby.”
“I kissed her like an animal, like a beast whose survival was solely contingent upon getting as much as possible out of one kiss. Like her mouth was essential to the continuation of my existence.”
“I could fucking die now and it would be fine.”
“Nothing has ever been this perfect.”
“On my deathbed, the Liz montage that would go through my head before I died would begin with this image, I swear to God.”
“I will never be done with you, Lib.”
“but I wished I'd had the chance to say goodbye. Beg her to kiss me again. Pledge my undying love.”
“I started laughing, hard, ignoring my dad as he muttered something and went inside, because Liz ran through a fucking monsoon to yell "thank you." To me. She stood in the driving rain. For me. "Hold up, honey," I said under my breath as I took off running after her, grinning as the downpour pelted the shit out of me.”

“honey, i would shower you with bouquets of spotless converse if you’d let me”
“i sat there for a second, memorising every detail: the smell of the rain mixed with chanel no. 5; the uneven sound of her breathing; the soft slide of her lipsticked lips against my mouth; slim piano fingers playing over my scalp. liz buxbaum was kissing me”
“like her mouth was essential to the continuation of my existence”
