Quote of the day
"'Here’s another tip from the puzzle pro: You can complete the puzzle faster if more hands are involved.' She turned hers and captured Regina’s. Tantalizingly slowly, she caressed up one side of each long finger and down the other."

Loving this.
"Sometimes I think, I cannot love her more. But then I see her put down her paintbrush and scoop up a wad of paint with her hand, turn to the canvas, and flesh out an ocean with her palm, and I feel the edge of my love expanding."

Sapphic quote of the day.
"A trickle of late winter air, the kind that wants to warm to the oncoming spring but is still tipped with a frost that won’t let go, wound itself around the room, sweeping into corners and swirling idle dust motes into flurries."
Kat Jackson. In Bloom
