-Gwendolyn Kiste, The Rust Maidens

"He’s almost sixty, practically an old man, his eyes crinkled at the edges and his hair faded to gray. Yet nothing about him feels old to me. He feels exactly the same. I shouldn’t still want him. After all these years and all these mistakes and all these regrets, this shouldn’t be happening. A grown woman acting the same as some swoony girl who can’t get over a crush. I feel like I should be better than this, but apparently, I’m not."
