“You might not be okay now, but you will be.” No one’s ever taken care of this girl, and I intend to be the first. “I will?” she asks, peering up at me. I hold her tight against me, breathing into her neck. “You will be. Don’t forget that even though today may suck, you can always try again tomorrow. And the next day. And the next. Just keep trying until you hit a good day.”
