The Hole in the Pavement was probably my favourite story of [b:A Matter of Perception|12983414|A Matter of Perception|Tahlia Newland|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1320022105s/12983414.jpg|18142825]. Every morning Norris follows Georgia to the bus stop, a silent admirer without the courage to approach her in even the most benign of ways until Georgia falls and Norris overcomes his own doubts to reach out to her. A clever mix of the metaphorical made literal I enjoyed the message of the story.
