Kindle Notes & Highlights
Someone once told me that eventually time takes away everything you have—everyone you love, your dreams, your memories, your fears. It takes everything you’ve ever had, and you never notice until it’s gone. The same person told me that though time is known to heal, time is actually cruel. Despite every single thing time steals from you, it will never take one thing away. No matter how many nights you spend awake, how many meals you miss, or how many stares you try not to notice; time is just time, and no matter how much time passes, it will never let you forget the truth.

He wrapped his arms around me and held me until every wall in me crumbled. Just like that, I was his.
“You never talk about that night,” he said simply, his glare challenging me.
“We’ve already lost our daughter once. Don’t you go and push her away any more than she’s already pushed herself.”
“Now, if honesty truly existed, would we even be in this situation? Just hold still, sweet girl, and it will all be over soon.”
