"I pulled them out of the fire myself. I read them all. Every word you wrote. you and I, Tess, we're alike. We live and breathe words. It was books that kept me from taking my own life after I thought I could never love anyone, never be loved by anyone again. It was books that made me feel that perhaps I was not completely alone. They could be honest with me, and I with them." 
 I just. But... 
 UGH!
