Compliments were to be avoided at all costs. I hated people looking at me and judging me.

I think social media is a waste of time—in fact, each different type draws on the power of one of the Seven Deadly Sins.

All I ever wanted was for our story— the story of me and Mark told through the eyes of a non-sexual narrator— I wanted that story to be available so that other people who might never see themselves in print could have someone to identify with.

There won't be any sex for the first three hundred thousand words... that's how you know this is an asexual-to-demisexual story.

Mark is the one thing in this world that I love enough to write a million words about... he is the one I am obsessive about recording. I want you to love him as much as I do. I want you to see him how I see him. Yes, he has flaws and, yes, I put my blinders on when looking at those flaws... but I feel compelled to immortalize our story—his story.
