• Trapped in silence, Marco traces apologies and adorations across Celia's body with his tongue. Mutely expressing all the things he cannot speak aloud. He finds other ways to tell her, his fingers leaving faint trails of ink in their wake. He savors every sound he elicits from her. The entire room trembles as they come together. And though there are a great many fragile objects contained within it, nothing breaks.

• Celia, wait,” Marco says, standing but not moving closer to her. “You are breaking my heart. You told me once that I reminded you of your father. That you never wanted to suffer the way your mother did for him, but you are doing exactly that to me. You keep leaving me.

• Ven, mi Celia, probemos, mientras podamos, los deportes del amor, El tiempo no será nuestro para siempre, Él, al fin, nuestro bien cortará; No gastes entonces sus dones en vano: Los soles que se ponen pueden salir de nuevo; Pero si una vez perdemos esta luz, Es con nosotros noche perpetua. ¿Por qué aplazar nuestras alegrías? La fama y el rumor no son más que juguetes.

• Celia [Brady] is a young woman who, you know, she's still got that fresh young vibe about her but at the same time she's quite wise beyond her years and very mature and she has that womanly, sexy quality, but at the same time she's very youthful in her clothes. She has that interesting mix between the two. I really love that balance about fashion.
