“It's hard not to be demolished by the thought of her because I have lived in a body that has loved her and eyes that have witnessed her. She is part of my muscles, my tissue. She is unforgettable.

― Chloe Michelle Howarth, Sunburn

“Some parts of her I keep in my memory, others in my heart. This, I keep in my blood. And all night in bed, my blood slowly drags through my veins, bringing that moment to every piece of my body. It is beyond words. This isn't a feeling, it is a state of being.”
― Chloe Michelle Howarth, Sunburn

“And yet it frightened her when it was over. No emptiness this time. It frightened her, how open her heart was.”
― Nina LaCour, Yerba buena
