and hated summers. Summers had a logic all their own and they always brought

believe.” ― Benjamin Alire Sáenz

happen to quiet people. for those few months, you’re not required to be who

the year. you can be grateful and easy, with no eyes on you, and no past. summer
just opens the door and lets you out.” ― Deb Caletti
