"Gaze got a future or I got one. I picked Gaze."
"... Right now? I’m choosing you. You’re first. From now until the end of time. Or whenever you’re done with me. I’m yours.”
"I found a family for Pixie and me. And she had found the part of herself that she had sacrificed to keep me alive."
“I’ve always only wanted to save you.”
“The mist from the hydrant combined with the angle of the declining sun tossed a rainbow-colored halo above her head. I felt it in my toes. I felt it in a part of my mind that knew my name. Pixie Rae was part of me. I was in love with her. She tugged on my hands to pull me into the full spray and I followed. I was twelve. I would have followed her anywhere.”
“Will Mike hit us before the cookies?” In the silence that followed my question, the late night crickets took over. “No, man. They don’t hit us. They just love us here.”
“There were plenty of times I bit my tongue. It hurt to write you biting yours, when all I wanted to do was save you. But, you had to show me and everyone else who takes a risk on this book that there is an after or can be an after. A beautiful, forever after that you deserve.”
