I really love how Rachel's hair plays a big part in Quinn's sensorial memory of Rachel. This is gorgeous:
Against her will, her hands grip into Rachel’s hair, her fingers tangling in soft, brown strands and hundreds of memories flit across Quinn’s consciousness. Memories of how Rachel’s hair looks in a multitude of situations - in the morning sun, in the moonlight, under the harsh lights of school, soaked from a late afternoon shower, or tangled and messy after a long make out session on Rachel’s living room couch.

Poor Rachel, so desperate to please Quinn and burn herself into Quinn's memory in the face of Quinn's determination to leave. :( And god, I loved this:
The tip of Rachel’s tongue begins tracing shapes over her clit and Quinn knows exactly what they are, can feel the familiar letters of Rachel’s name as if they’re branded there.
SO PERFECT.

I'm going to echo fuzzy there. This is so, so sad:
“In another lifetime,” Quinn whispers, broken and soft into Rachel’s hair. “I could have loved you forever.”
:( And Quinn has herself so convinced that she's doing this for Rachel's benefit, when really, i feel that she's doing it just because she is scared.

Oh, author. This story feels like it comes from hard learned personal experience on your part. ♥ It was wonderful, but it was also a very painful read. I just want to hug the both of them.
