Thinking about Josh, and how he always slides his jaw to the side when annoyed. Thinking about how his sister does the same thing. Thinking about how the very second she is given a face by the text, that face is a mirror of Josh’s. Thinking about how family makes and breaks Josh, even though he tries very hard to ignore it. Thinking about how the family he chose and the family he was born with hate each other. Thinking about even after he chose a different family (Celia), and they fought about it, Josh’s sister still has the same facial tell. He can’t escape her and yet she barely exists in the text. She has no name, but she moves her jaw in the same way when aggravated

First we only want to be seen, but once we're seen, that's not enough anymore. After that, we want to be remembered.

“In the past, you spoke to me about the future. Painted a picture of our lives, in light and shade. Told me you would always take care of me and in your own way, you have. But first, you had to break my heart.

If you have wondered about me, know that I am doing fine. I don't have a stitch of ill will toward you, despite the way it ended. I know you were finding your way. I know you had to lose me to do it. I don't think we found each other at the wrong time, because there was so much that was right about it. We gave each other something you couldn't name-that anyone in love would know.”
