never let me go:
“I didn’t understand why, after all her teasing, Ruth would decide that Tommy was the boy she liked most of all. They say girls are always mean to the boys they like, so maybe Ruth had liked him all along. Maybe, I should have teased him too”

“i come here and imagine that this is the spot where everything i’ve lost since my childhood is washed out. i tell myself, if that were true, and i waited long enough then a tiny figure would appear on the horizon across the field and gradually get larger until i’d see it was Tommy. he’d wave. and maybe call. i don’t know if the fantasy go beyond that, i can’t let it. i remind myself i was lucky to have had any time with him at all. what i’m not sure about, is if our lives have been so different from the lives of the people we save. We all complete. Maybe none of us really understand what we’ve lived through, or feel we’ve had enough time.”
