"I pull her down to the dusty floor and kiss her hard and deep. She makes an urgent noise deep in her throat and moves to pull off my shirt. I unhook her bra as she cradles my hips in her hands. I kiss down her stomach, and together, on that dust-coated floor, we make our own kind of haunted love. And it strikes me, on the floor of this abandoned mouth of a house, during the wildest Texas haboob known to man—violent wind crashing against the Victorian again and again like a smashing fist—that right now, I finally have everything I’ve ever wanted, even though the world is ending all around us."-Julia Lynn Rubin, Trouble Girls
