"What do you want to happen?" Martha asked. "Seriously."

I wanted to be the person Cross told things to. I want him to think I was pretty, I wanted him to be reminded of me by stuff I liked - pistachios and hooded sweatshirts and the Dylan song "Girl from the North Country" - and I wanted him to miss me when we were apart. I wanted him to feel, when we were lying in bed together, like he couldn't imagine anywhere better.
