“Stay” Rihanna – a scene This Much Is True

So, I write some sad stuff (as many of you already know). My latest novel, This Much Is True, is coming together (still a work-in-progress) and this song epitomizes one of the scenes in the book between Tally and Linc so perfectly. I had to share it. I am getting so close to being done with this, but I want it to be great so, once again, thank you for your patience. xo KO

P.S. Let’s not overlook the guy, who sings this song with her….Rihanna – Stay ft. Mikky Ekko

Um. Wow.

Katherine’s quotes

"You know what they say about air and water when it comes to fire, don’t you?” she asks.
Now, I’m curious. She hasn’t spoken for the last ten minutes of the drive. “What?”
“Too much air blows out the fire. Too much water destroys it.”
I nod trying to determine what she’s really comparing us to. “The idea would be to keep the flame going, right. For years?” She nods. “Like a relationship. Like a marriage.” She cringes at the word marriage. Noted. “So you need the air—to stay constant—to fan the flames of the fire, and you know, grasshopper,” I smile at her and catch sight of the corners of her mouth turning slightly upward in response to the endearment, “a hot enough fire will burn water, so you have to be careful with the water too.”
“That I do know,” she says softly. “So that’s the truth about air and water.” She sighs deep.
“Which is?”
“It’s hard to maintain the balance to keep the fire going. You have to fan the flames without putting it out with too much water. But too little water will burn the fire right up. Too much fire. Too much destruction. We’re out of control.”
“You’re talking in circles,” I say.
“No. That’s us,” she says with certainty."— Katherine Owen
