3 " I love having him in my mouth, but even more than that, I'm hooked by the way he's staring deeply at me. Like I'm a fantasy. Like I'm something made of heaven and stars that he's dreamt of- and I never thought to ask what a celebrity who could have anyone in the fucking world fantasizes about.

And I wonder how long it's been me. "

7 " Uncle Lo says that it's not a party until there's salsa. It's a party rule, right?' She looks to Jane.

You wonder why I don’t resent the world.
Because I knew I needed to become something that could withstand the world.

I’m always here. "
