Quote by Marisa de los Santos
The sight made her ache. she thought hopelessly, and then she was doing it, her fingers on his wrist. He didn't jump or even look at her, just stopped writing. Neither one of them moved, nothing moved, and the whole thing lasted three or four seconds at most, but when Pen took her hand away and started to breathe again, her chest hurt, as though she had been holding her breath for a very long time.
Summary
This quote illustrates a moment of intense emotion and connection between two individuals, Pen and another person referred to as "he". Pen is deeply affected by something she sees, which causes her to feel despair and prompts her to reach out to "his" wrist. The reaction is almost instantaneous, as "he" stops what he is doing but does not acknowledge Pen. Within those few seconds of stillness, both characters experience a palpable shift in their surroundings, leaving Pen with a physical ache in her chest. This quote highlights the power of a single gesture to convey a myriad of emotions and symbolizes the longing for connection and understanding.
