The day I started crying as I drove,
 |
| Conor Larkin is the protagonist :) |
There was no reason. Then it hit me.
I cried for Conor Larkin.
A character. The hero of the book
I finished just the other night.
Another time I had to set the hefty
Mitchell tome aside when Scarlett's
Selfishness seeped into my own words.
With mindfulness you can observe (or read?)
Without profound effect but
When the author pulls me in, until
The story isn't on the page but in
My very cells, how can my heart not pound
As I await the verdict at the trial?
