“I thought he might kiss me as we sat shivering on the bank of the spring with our clothes soaked through and our feet dangling in the steaming water. We looked into each other's eyes the way I'd always imagined people did right before they leaned in closer and touched lips for the first time. But that was all we did. We looked at each other. Into each other. We were still clutching hands.”

“The walls were coming down around me, but still, I couldn't imagine telling the truth. Not now. It was too late. How can I tell Mom and Dad what we'd done? It would ruin everything. It would ruin their image of me; it would ruin every thought they'd ever had about who I was. It would be another death.Another loss. Another miscarriage.”
Dana Reinhardt, Harmless“It was then, there in the darkness, with only those little pin-points of light to see by, light from a world away where other people with their own problems and their own secrets lived their own lives, that everything in our world changed for good.”
Dana Reinhardt, Harmless“Sometimes things happen. Things happen even when you don't intend them to happen. Maybe at the beginning you had good intentions, or no intentions, or intentions you thought were harmless, but before you knew it things got out of control....Sometimes things take on a life of their own. You become powerless. There is nothing you can do to stop certain things from happening.”
Dana Reinhardt, Harmless“The roof was torn off the gym. God's way of telling the jocks that they'd better remember who's really charge.”
Dana Reinhardt, How to Build a House“They're just words. And words alone don't really mean anything. It's what you feel and what you believe when you say them that matter.”
Dana Reinhardt, How to Build a House“There are days when I think I don't believe anymore. When I think I've grown too old for miracles. And that's right when another seems to happen.”
