" If I don’t do everything in my power to get River to a hospital, I’ll live with regret for the rest of my life. Even if I got Rain in the end. It would eat away at me, consume me from the inside out. And as much as I love him, I don’t want to be his second choice. I don’t want to be his consolation prize. "

― C.E. Ricci , After Rain Falls (River of Rain #2)
