I'm so glad you liked that paragraph—I loved writing it, too. It was one of those moments that came about organically as I was writing the scene. I wanted to give the reader a little moment of grace, and tenderness, by drawing closer to Lucy. I am a dog-lover myself (just like Charlie), and I think we have a lot to learn from these animals, from the way they live life in-the-moment, and don't fret too much about what they can't control.

Quotes by Anna Pitoniak  (?)
Quotes are added by the Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ community and are not verified by Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ.

“It wasn’t that my personality changed when I met Stella. It was that it became, it flourished, because I could say things to Stella that I wouldn’t have said to anyone back home—knowing they would only respond with bafflement, or laughter—and she always volleyed right back, sharpening me like a whetstone to a knife. I didn’t just want the friendship of this dazzling girl. I wanted the world that had made her so dazzling in the first place.”
Anna Pitoniak, Necessary People

“Stella was the vine wrapped around the limbs of my tree, and even though I had branches that were dead and dangling and should have fallen off long ago, she kept them in place.”
Anna Pitoniak, Necessary People

“Lies require noise and misdirection to blend in, silence is the best way to draw the truth to the surface.”
Anna Pitoniak, Necessary People
