“I saw you on that dock, hunting frogs, and I thought you were the prettiest thing I’d ever seen. Then I looked up and saw Silas glaring at me, and I knew right then and there you’d always be between us. You took my heart just as you took his, but you only gave yours to him. But I think at Christmas, you gave me some pieces too. I have to believe that I found my way in there, Artie, before I leave this earth. Please tell me I did.”
