Summary
Taking the road from her home to Carol's seemed to be a pleasant experience when she left her doorstep that night, greeted by his gaze that colored her cheeks better than any winter cold.
Now those same feelings lie crushed somewhere in the middle of the birthday crowd and the hope and warmth are replaced by the ice so cold even he cannot melt it away.

Summary
She tastes the same as she did a few months ago, when she’d been home for spring break. She tastes the same as she had over Christmas, beneath the hot chocolate and cinnamon that lingered sweet on her lips.
She tastes the same as she had at the end of last summer, when they’d fallen together into this confusing, temporary break from sanity. Drunk and seeking an escape from the inevitabilities beating at their front doors: her, her imminent departure for college, and him, what it meant to be the person left behind when everyone else has moved on.

Summary
Nancy’s emotionally constipated, and Steve’s at the end of his rope.
——
She lets out a deep breath. “Well what about being stuck with me and Jonathan every day?” she asks, “that doesn’t piss you off?”
Steve stares at her. “No.”
“You’re lying.”
“I’m not lying,” he says, “you just think I am because you don’t know how to feel an emotion anymore.”
