haven't been cried this hard for so long. that's that, people. and i even have the last pages that i terribly attached to.

297 - the way oliver talked about the seven of them and how they all were related to shakespeare, even every inch of their breath

305 - oliver and meredith's conversation which they know they would've had nothing; would you carry my heart like a jewel in a box? / i dunno, would you carry my head around in a basket if got decapitated by pirates?

321 - oliver and colborne's banter with their theories that shows how everything was all messed up

336 - THE WHOLE CONVERSATION OF JAMES AND OLIVER FOR GODSAKE!! CRY ME A RIVER

348 - the transparency that gwendolyn brought to the table between james and meredith, it was insane and mind-bending, it was either between their real-self or their plays, the thing is on this stage.. no one knows what's real and what's not anymore...

358 - oliver and colborne's conversation; the two of you, i never understood it / neither did we, it was easier to do / what were you? / we were a lot of things

414 - we'll never forget it / that's the worst part and that's that. no further elaboration.

418 - meredith and oliver's reunion.... they were real... and they knew that either did james.. brb crying

this book will forever running through my veins.
