2 Quotes by Maartje van Sandwijk

Mary just stares at her, the keys to the library forgotten in her hand. She is the most beautiful girl Mary has ever seen. Her hair is a big mess of dark curls that are kept out of her face with a blue bandana that somehow brings out the green in her eyes and her dungarees are folded at the bottom to reveal a pair of bright yellow socks.

Toni smiles. Her eyes are all crinkled and sparkly and Mary finds it very difficult to look away. She isn’t quite sure what to do and tugs her thumbs into the belt loops of her jeans just to do something with her hands and Toni is still smiling at her.
