But no, never, always write them. This might be my favorite, and I knew it from the first section because there's something stunning in that part there describing her and her wants and his knowing.
I love all of these sections because they each deal with a facet and a turn of their relationship and how they work and how they exist together and separately.
There was a time, he remembers, when these sorts of moments where familiar, almost commonplace – innocent brushes of fingers, his hand on the small of her back, the smile the moments would illicit from her filled with a possibility he didn’t quite understand then. But then things shifted, changed, and it was easier to keep their distance, easier to maintain impartiality when there was one single part of their lives the other hadn’t touched.
I love these two lines because it's so gorgeous. And it speaks so much to where they are now, after so long, and being confronted, literally being hit with what they feel.
