“I think you went through a hell no one should ever have to experience. I think even anyone who’s never been hurt is scared of loving and losing. I think that you can be strong and independent and also rely on someone else. And…I think that you’ve picked guys you knew you wouldn’t fall for—until Drew Halifax showed up like a knight in hockey pads. Maybe it won’t work out. But if you don’t try, it definitely won’t work out.”
