`` do you think she believed you ? '' i understood now why her expression was so horrified . his free hand wrapped around the ends of my hair and tilted my head back so i was looking up at him . she stood at the rivers edge every day , visited her secret place , and flown with shimmer hundreds of times , seeking desperately for even a hint or a sign of their return . she laughed , just like you i took a deep breath , i didnt really know love could hurt like this .
