The Friendship Study Quotes

“There’s so many people here already,” I whisper, then repeat myself when he can’t hear me. He laughs. George smells certifiably flammable and it’s not even eight o’clock. “What did you expect? A party for millennials has to start early so everyone can go to bed early.”
― Ruby Barrett, The Friendship Study

“Her arm brushes mine, her fingers trail over my elbow. She smiles, small. Pauses like she might say something, maybe ask me to dance. I don’t want to dance at all but I want her to ask me more than I want to take my next breath. I want the excuse of the dance floor to feel her against me. I watch her as she bounces all the way to the center of the crowd. My stomach pulls itself apart.”
