“Josie
Now, I have never understood all that
he’s-my-other-half
soul mate stuff
or when people sometimes talk about
having an empty pace inside
or that they’re missing pieces or something.
But then
he walked over
and fit himself
right into my puzzle.
Nicolette
It never occurred to me I couldn’t change
the way things are
whenever I wanted to.
I mean, I’ve always been the one calling the shots…
Avivia
He has a way of sliding out of trouble,
plays the innocent really well.
Grown-ups seem to think he’s such a good boy.

This much, at least, I've figured out. I know this much is true.”
