  8. add Eye of Newt to her pastrami salad? All I could think of was poor little newts in eye-patches. But now that she was gone, all I could think of was her. Who cared if my salad blinked at me. I would do anything to get her back. Anything. Except

  9. going back to the place we first met. There were too many memories for me there that would hurl me towards a torrent of tears. Going back there would mean letting the truth come out and sometimes truth was overrated. Especially when it came to confessing that
