"
you
think
a
promise
is
something
you
keep
,"
she
said
, "
like
an
insect
entombed
in
a
shoebox.
but
there
are
no
promises
.
there
are
only
the
things
we
say
with
our
eyes
half
-closed,
hoping
time
and
accidents
will
render
them
true
,
the
way
a
mother
might
learn
to
love
an
unasked
-for
child
.
this
is
how
i
might
stagger
into
loving
you
.
i
could
hate
you
just
the
same
