Quotes by Bethany Chase (?)

“Death is not the way they show it in the movies, with the dying person holding on just long enough for one last embrace, some final words of love or absolution.”
― Bethany Chase, The One That Got Away

“One man's desperate is another man's persistent.”

“loss splits your world into people who get it and people who don’t. It’s human nature to try to make things not feel as awful as they are, which is why people say garbage like ‘Everything happens for a reason.’ But you’ve never done that. You never tried to pretend. Even that night—I’d done something you should have been angry at me for, but instead, you saw that I was hurting and you gave me comfort. You weren’t trying to make me talk about it, you weren’t telling me it was going to be okay; you were just…there with me. It was such a relief.”
