“Piper, since the day you came crashing into my life, even my seven-year-old brain understood the world had somehow shifted. I spent the next fifteen years figuring out what that meant. But Piper, I know exactly what it means now. It means that life without you is meaningless. No amount of money or awards could come close to the happiness you bring me. Even the thought of us being apart makes my chest ache with a hollowness that’s too painful to describe.”
