‘The key, she has been taught by the books she reads, is to love a man slightly less than he loves you’

‘These objects sit around the house like a dumping of useless artefacts; archaeological pieces too mundane to be brought back from the dig.’

‘She will imagine herself sinking down, becoming something less than solid, spilling insides onto the sand’

‘Occasionally, I convinced myself I had made it all up - love, attraction, all of it - that I had made it up with everyone I'd ever met.’

‘In the morning, I told the woman messaging me on the dating site that I couldn't talk to her just yet; I was sweeping the bones of a girl I had loved off the kitchen floor.’

‘The sky is gory with stars, like the insides of a gutted night.’
