She never laughed at you. She only ever laughed with you... at the world. Loudly. Enthusiastically. From the depths of her being. From everything she was, all she is, all she would be. It was unequivocal - you both were on one side of the fence, no questions asked. And everyone else on the other. No matter how much your little island was shrinking and how much theirs expanding. No matter how much you were sinking, and how high they were rising. No matter how much you were the minority, and how much they the majority, and no matter how uncool it was to be here and how cool it was to be there. No matter all that shit. All that mattered was this. This side of the fence. This manner of existence. This way of being. This. Here. Right now. Hand in hand. Side by side. Facing them. Facing the world. Forever. Simple.
And that's what made that kind of love special.
It was all-exclusive.
