Therefore they forced themselves never to think about the problematic day of escape, to cease looking to the future, and always to keep, so to speak, their eyes fixed on the ground at their feet.

Hip-hop remix. Yes, Death Cab for Cutie.”… “Why? What’s wrong with it?””Nothing, but it doesn’t seem to fit you. It’s kind of a sad song.” “No it’s pure confident. It’s not ‘I want’ or ‘I need’, none of that crap.” He slipped his hand over mine. “It’s ‘I will.'”A nervous laugh bubbled up. “You will, huh?”His fingers brushed my cheek, then slid into my hair. “I will.”
