https://kirstenrice.wordpress.com/2010/03/03/spring-cleaning
A romantic enters the world. The Beach Salvage (tension, part two). March 3, 2010 · 12:47 pm. This could also be titled “pick up your bags and truck on over to Blogspot”.

I started hinting at this change on Twitter this morning, and the replies were instantaneous and unanimous: make the move! Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

Real life, normal conversations? We don’t push buttons. We play nice and say good things and generally avoid conflict. At least I do. I really don’t like tension-filled conversations — they make my palms sweaty and they twist up my tongue. In novels, however, conversations have. You’re early, he says. Were you waiting for me?

I see him again on the northbound 17 express: rush hour traffic and nowhere to sit, rain spattering the windshield, and that boy standing in the aisle ahead of me, pretending to read Steinbeck like yesterday but never actually flipping the page. I grip my umbrella, seventy-five cents at Goodwill, ready to use it. Psh, those peopl...
