    “You used to be better at lying.”

    wow this line really hits you like a wall!

    anyway, you've written so many lines that i love so much. each word you put down feels very intentional and thought out, and the voice in your writing is calm yet unbridled. excellent stuff. love also the repetition in this series:

    Admiration did not make his hands shake when she raised hers to ask a question.

    Admiration did not make his pulse stutter when her gaze met his and lingered a second too long.

    Admiration did not mean he noticed when she switched from black ink to blue halfway through the semester, or when her braid came loose near the end of class, and he wanted — absurdly, irrationally — to reach out and fix it.
