Quote by Jodi Picoult

Peter curled his hands into fists at his sides. 'Kiss me,' he said.She leaned towards him slowly, until her face was too close to be in focus. Her hair fell over Peter's shoulder like a curtain and her eyes closed. She smelled like autumn-like apple cider and slanting sun and the snap of the coming cold. He felt his heart scrambling, caught inside the confines of his own body.Josie's lips landed just on the edge of his, almost his cheek and not quite his mouth. 'I'm glad I wasn't stuck in here alone,' she said shyly, and he tasted the words, sweet as mint on her breath.

Peter curled his hands into fists at his sides. 'Kiss me,' h

Summary

This quote describes a tender moment between Peter and Josie. Peter is visibly tense and asks Josie to kiss him. Josie slowly moves closer to him, her face blurred in his vision. As she leans in, her hair drapes over Peter's shoulder, creating a private moment. Josie's scent evokes feelings of autumn and crispness, which intensifies Peter's emotions. However, the kiss does not happen as expected, with Josie's lips barely touching Peter's. As they part, Josie confesses her joy in not being alone, and Peter can taste the sweetness of her words in his mouth.

I do not think that religion is the most important element. We are held together rather by a body of tradition, handed down from father to son, which the child imbibes with his mother's milk. The atmosphere of our infancy predetermines our idiosyncrasies and predilections.
