“I hate that your parents are making you feel this way, because you’re not a burden. You’re far from it. Quite frankly, if I’m being honest with you, I need more of you because I can’t stop getting enough of you. And I know it’s not the same thing, because you want that from your parents, but I see you and I see that you’re not any of those things you just said you were. You’re not just your smiles or your beauty. You’re Julianna fucking Sparks. You’re smart, capable, strong, quick-witted. You’re that and so much more. I promise and I hope you know I mean it.”
