"It felt kind of normal, like days passed so long ago before either of them decided they were going to be clever and hide their secrets from each other. Children were honest and handed out love generously to those who held their hands, helped bandage scraped knees, and gave them their first quick, embarrassed kisses. Why it was so complicated to love as an adult was a true mystery. The only thing that remained was being so devastatingly human that no matter how hard you try to keep them in, emotions eventually tumble chaotically out, bare to the one they were meant for."
Yasha certainly has a way with words...
