Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Work can never be more important than family. It’s just a job, Skye. I will never skip out on my family to work. Nothing is more important than you, Roland, and your mother.
My mind told me our relationship was strictly platonic, but my heart told me she was in love with me, in a very complicated way.
Because we really don’t have long on this earth. Appreciate what you have. Because before you know it, it’s gone.”
“I’m sick of my father constantly hovering over me. He did it all through my life. As a result, he never let me handle anything on my own. As soon as I got into trouble, he fixed it for me.
