softness

1 As if there was no need for fear or loneliness when there was such softness in the world.

2 She marveled at its softness, like tightly coiled silk.

4 The smirk I’d been expecting earlier slid across his face, but underneath it I thought there was a residue of the weird, wounded softness I’d seen in the mirror before.

5 They used a hard vocabulary to contain the terrible softness.

6 The softness of his voice made me look up at him.

7 Prison was whittling him down, carving away what little softness and gentleness he had.

8 When he smiled, however, you saw the softness in his eyes, which made it clear that Lefty was in fact no gangster but the pampered, bookish son of comfortably well-off parents.

9 Shadows stretched across the road, late afternoon, a softness falling down from the sky no matter what people did.

10 She opened her arms for Lefty, who twisted around, chafing his knees and elbows, dislodging oars, nearly setting off a flare, until finally he fell into her softness, swooning.

14 And to hear what he’d said back to me, to see that softness in his eyes when he looked at me, the gentleness of his hand when he gripped mine.

15 Slopper threw himself back on a pile of hay, contentedly stretching his back into the softness.

16 I reported on local D.C., and I found that people would tell me things, that the same softness that once made me a target now compelled people to trust me with their stories.

17 The room was painted in soft pink.

18 Various submerged softnesses on Clementine’s body are delivering crucial information to mine, information I store away but won’t understand until years later.

19 I seek my identity in toughness—but it is Morrie’s softness that draws me, and because he does not look at me as a kid trying to be something more than I am, I relax.
