I walk through the black Indiana night, under a ceiling of stars, and think about the phrase elegance and euphoria, and how it describes exactly what I feel with Violet.

A boy who belongs here in the world, here in his own skin. He is exactly who I want to be and what I want my epitaph to say The Boy Violet Markey Loves. Jennifer Niven
