“I’m not sure I’ll ever be finished. No matter how much I write, there will always be something I should’ve said.”
Megan McCafferty, Fourth Comings

“I thought Marcus was going to be in my life forever. Then I thought I was wrong. Now he’s back. But this time I know what’s certain: Marcus will be gone again, and back again and again and again because nothing is permanent. Especially people. Strangers become friends. Friends become lovers.

Or the end of anything at all.”
Megan McCafferty, Charmed Thirds
