4. Marie Oh's first love was with a girl.
Marie knew she loved Laurel Knight when she could no longer stand to just admire Laurel. Laurel was too much to be just admired. She needed to be showered with love and experience someone else's sunlight to grow. She needed someone to care for her and never let her get hurt.
Marie wanted to be that someone. She wanted to be able to love Laurel and give her everything she needed. Every day was another day that Marie craved Laurel's peachy skin mixed with hers. Marie wanted to blend with Laurel like paint on a canvas.
Laurel was meant for Marie like blooming flowers were meant for spring. Marie could imagine what Laurel would taste like. Marie wanted to know every single piece and shadow of Laurel. She wanted to love and be loved a Laurel.
