Kindle Notes & Highlights
She can act tough and be defensive, but this house is filled with sunshine, and that’s all I need to know about how she and Arthur live.

He continues. “We both like the color red. And because you act like my dad.” I scoop him up in my arms, and he lunges for his cereal bowl, grasping for his spoon that’s just out of reach. “Dad! Put me down. My cereal… it’s getting soggy!” My voice breaks, and I squeeze him tighter, flooding with emotion after hearing him call me dad. “Can’t do it. I love you too much.”
