i just miss the reading together there’s something so fun about reading in the same room with someone or having them read to you or u to them or taking turns katy and i used to curl up and read books together like that in my bed on the beach in my backyard kale used to read to me until i fell asleep or in the evenings we’d both read in his living room and read out loud to each other the parts we liked sometimes he would fall asleep on the couch and i’d look up and the book would be on his chest and the setting sun would make him look like gold gabriel and i would take turns reading in bed and end up talking about it since he liked philosophy so much even celine and i used to go to the library during lunch and open a random book and try to create a dialogue by reading random lines out to each other and we would laugh and laugh and laugh

there are things i do miss like crawling into bed together and picking roles then sharing a book to read our lines from and talking through the the significance of a scene and the dialogue and why it was raining outside
