Tom Perrotta Quotes
He Spun On His Heels And Jogged Backward Across The Goal Line, The Ball Raised Triumphantly Overhead, A Gesture That Looked Arrogant When The Pros Did It On TV But Felt Right Just Then, Allowing Him To Watch His Teammates As They Came Charging Joyfully Down The Field To Join Him. Todd Spiked The Ball And Waited For Them, His Arms Stretched Wide, His Chest Heaving As If He Were Trying To Suck The Whole Night Into His Lungs. All He Wished Was That Sarah Had Been There To See It, To Know Him As He'd Known Himself Streaking Down The Wide-open Field, Not Some Jock Hero Scoring The Winning Touchdown, But A Grown Man Experiencing An Improbable Moment Of Grace.
