Description “Hair the color of lemons,’” Rudy read. His fingers touched the words. “You told him about me?”

At first, Liesel could not talk. Perhaps it was the sudden bumpiness of love she felt for him. Or had she always loved him? It’s likely. Restricted as she was from speaking, she wanted him to kiss her. She wanted him to drag her hand across and pull her over. It didn’t matter where. Her mouth, her neck, her cheek. Her skin was empty for it, waiting.

Years ago, when they’d raced on a muddy field, Rudy was a hastily assembled set of bones, with a jagged, rocky smile. In the trees this afternoon, he was a giver of bread and teddy bears. He was a triple Hitler Youth athletics champion. He was her best friend. And he was a month from his death.

“Of course I told him about you,” Liesel said.
-THE BOOK THIEF, MARKUS ZUSAK

I saw the picture and

I love this and the book, because it takes a pretty damn good book to make me cry, and that combined with this pretty damn good drawing made me cry again...

Right when I read Rudy would die.... I started ripping all strings that were weaving a beautiful tapestry of them being together.... and even though it is frayed it still is beautiful.

Awesome job!!!
