Kindle Notes & Highlights
“How does anything survive? Evolution. Nature finds a way.”
Arms wrapped tight around me, he kisses the top of my head. “You’re my whole life, Wren. My reason.” At the visual of mutations biting into his flesh, I close my eyes over tears. “And you’re mine.”
“I’m sorry about your friend. His sacrifice will not be forgotten.”
Physical pain is one that often promises an end. But the pain of loss is eternal. It’s the heart’s way of reminding us how fragile it is. How easily it can shatter.
We are broken pieces, stitched together by the pain of our losses. I don’t know if we’ll ever be fixed again. The only thing that’s certain is the uncertainty that awaits us. Moments like these, when we close our eyes, and the images from our past remind us how fleeting life can be. How, in the shutter of an eye, the universe can change.
In a world of monsters, love makes us human.
We love knowing that it can be taken away. And when it is, I guess we stay hopeful that it’ll return to us somehow.”
