Like I told Ash, since I met you, since I met all of you, I've never felt so alive. And life is always fucked up. Even without psycho families.” I smile gently, causing a rueful smile to tug at his plush lips. “I don't regret a single moment, and I'm not leaving.” I give him my best badass bitch look, which is rewarded with one of his rare, genuine smiles that melts my heart.
