Luz in the new chapter of your fic makes think of this quote from practical magic: "Sometimes I feel like there's a hole inside of me, an emptiness that at times seems to burn. I think if you lifted my heart to your ear, you could probably hear the ocean. The moon tonight, there's a circle around it. Sign of trouble not far behind. I have this dream of being whole. Of not going to sleep each night, wanting. But still sometimes, when the wind is warm or the crickets sing... I dream of a love that even time will lie down and be still for. I just want someone to love me. I want to be seen." Luz I feel like is going through a lot(understatement of the year) and I feel like her feelings for Hutner are adding to it. But I think she wants to be with him.
Ahh I don't want to spoil anything, but I do think in the next few chapters you'll get a better sense for how she's feeling, what she wants and why she's doing certain things. I will say the fact that you associate such a beautiful quote with something I wrote means a lot. Sometimes I feel like I'm shouting into an abyss when I post my writing so I always get really happy when I hear (or read ig) what anyone has to say about it :')
