“ Clothes were to Sylvia what books were to me: the only thing that really mattered. ”
So much of what people believe makes no sense, Wylie.

Simple Kate had wanted to say, I'm already dead.
Certainly she could never have exchanged pleasantries with anyone. What would there be for them to say anyway? Sorry? Sorry your daughter is dead, Sorry your daughter jumped off the roof of her school when you were on your way to pick her up. Sorry you were late. Too bad you'll be reliving that failure for the rest of your miserable life.
feelings existed in only one form: magnified.
