"It was a shut door, and shut doors meant things kept to yourself. There were reasons you kept things to yourself, and they usually werenâ€™t good, happy, open-air sort of reasons. Still, I didnâ€™t want to see behind that door. You think you want to know everything there is to know about everything there is to know. But you donâ€™t. Not really. I had pried the lid off of the dark places of another person before, I had seen inside. Down deep. You donâ€™t want to look at whatâ€™s rotting there."

-- Deb Caletti
