I love when someone writes the heck out of a sentence. On Thursdays, I try to post some of my favorites.
“Was I in love with him? I wasn’t sure. I didn’t know if it was possible to be in love with someone who had taken you hostage. Or maybe what I mean is, I knew it was probably quite easy to fall in love with someone who had taken you hostage. Because you got used to saying the things that wanted to hear, the things that would keep you alive. You got used to pleasing them, which meant you were always thinking about what they might think, about what was in their minds, instead of what was in your own mind. That looks like love, from a certain angle.”
