“A crack of lightning, an explosion of thunder, the sound of pounding rain.”

“Without emotion, what's the point of being human?”

“Everything's science fiction until someone makes it science fact”

“Now, as we stand three feet apart and stare at each other, I feel the full distance that comes with spending so much time apart, a moment filled with the electricity of a first meeting and the uncertainty of strangers.”
