Kindle Notes & Highlights
I wonder how many people meet the person they once were and feel like they’re staring at a stranger. I’m happy my son will never meet that man. I’m happy Lily has the husband she deserves. And I’m happy for me. Because I finally love who I am.
“You can be sad because she’s gone,” I whisper, “but you can also be happy because she existed.”
“Live in the fucking moment with me, Calloway?” My smile stretches. Every single day, Ryke Meadows.
“And…thanks.” “For what?” His tears fill to the brim. “For taking care of my dad.”
“Here’s a secret, darling.” I listen, poised for anything with him. “I’ve always loved winning, but I would lengthen the time it takes us to reach the end, just to spend one more second with you.”
we shouldn’t. Not people like us. This isn’t meant for us. I realize something. So I tell him. “I think we finally deserve this.” Tears spill out of his eyes, and he says, “I believe it, too.”
I relive the better parts that are intertwined with bad. Because I look back and think, Christ, we were so goddamn fragile. Look how far we’ve come. Look at us now.
