#Friday56 & #BookBeginnings: Asleep


For Book Beginnings:
Dear Sarah, It was spring when we went to see my brother off. He and his girlfriends were waiting at the airport when we arrived–yes, he had lots of girlfriends back then–and they were all decked out like flowers. The sky was marvelously clear.
- p. 3

 For Friday 56:  
On rainy afternoons, department stores always seem strangely bright and warm, and you can smell the moisture. 
- p. 56
