Before that day, every hour of my life had been exactly like the one before it. Relentlessly boring. Painfully monotonous. But then she walked out of my waking nightmare and into my life, a complete mystery from Second One. Her presence was a problem I needed to solve, a problem that finally interested me. And then, somehow, she made me interested in myself. Mara began as a question I needed to answer, but the longer I'd known her, the less I felt I actually knew. She was constantly surprising, infinitely complex. Unknowable. Unpredictable. I have never met anyone more fascinating in my life, and all the time in the world wouldn't be enough to ever know her.","author":"Michelle Hodkin","tags":["knowing","mara-dyer","memory","noah-shaw"],"id":52509,"author_id":"Michelle+Hodkin"},{"text":"The two of us snuggled like quotation marks in his room full of words.","author":"Michelle Hodkin","tags":["mara-dyer","noah-shaw","poetic","words"],"id":63124,"author_id":"Michelle+Hodkin"},{"text":"Maybe sometimes we can only see the truth about ourselves if someone shows us where to look.","author":"Michelle Hodkin","tags":["love","mara-dyer","retribution-of-mara-dyer","romance"],"id":66659,"author_id":"Michelle+Hodkin"},{"text":"What would you do if I kissed you right now?'I stared at his beautiful face and his beautiful mouth and I wanted nothing more than to taste it.

A pseudonym. A nom de plume, for all of us studying for the SATs. I know that having a fake name is strange, but trust me—it’s the most normal thing about my life right now. Even telling you this much probably isn’t smart. But without my big mouth, no one would know that a seventeen-year-old who likes Death Cab for Cutie was responsible for the murders. No one would know that somewhere out there is a B student with a body count.
