10 " I don’t know how this is going to work. I don’t know if this is forever or for a year or maybe even just for another week,” he said. “But I know that whether it’s seasonal or for life, this—our love—I will fight for it, Wren. Until I have no breath left to fight. "
11 " A new life had started for me when I’d met her. She’d opened my eyes, shared her light, and pulled me from the shadows. "
12 " He needed me. I didn’t know why – I didn’t need to know why – because the truth was I needed him too. "
