“All that ever matters to me is your happiness, Lane. You’re my first baby, my oldest love, the one who taught me how to be a mama. You’ll always be my baby, no matter how old you get. No matter how much taller and bigger you get, you’ll always be that piercing-green-eyed baby that I held in my arms for days. Your life is what you make it. It’s yours. No one else’s. Remember that, okay? Choose happiness.”
