I want too much, she thought. I want everything. I want day and night, sleeping and waking, world without end, amen. Someone warned her once that it was fatal to tell a man you loved him. ‘What I really want,’ she said, ‘deep down, is stillness, safety. The feeling you’d always be there. I love you. I think I must have loved you without knowing it all my life.’

This is the problem with dealing with someone who is actually a good listener. They don’t jump in on your sentences, saving you from actually finishing them, or talk over you, allowing what you do manage to get out to be lost or altered in transit. Instead, they wait, so you have to keep going.

Her mouth tightens, and Mike pulls her off the ground into a hug. As Mike and Eleven embrace, Dustin kneels down and wraps his arms around both of them. Eleven nuzzles her face against Mike’s shoulder and closes her eyes. Shaded by the towering rock wall, the three kids kneel beside the sunny edge of the quarry, holding each other close.

"But undocumented immigrants are breaking the law."
I don't care. Not even a little.
Trump broke the law. His insurrectionists broke the law. And when they did, you insisted that breaking the law is patriotic and that our freedom fighters were all law breakers.
By the standards that you actively uphold, undocumented immigrants are patriots. So I will treat them like patriots.
