“I just wanted it to be in writing, somewhere. I wanted it to be in writing that it was you. For me. It’s always been you.”

I thought I could come here and prove something in the arena with my low birth, the peasant blood in my veins, and yet here I am standing trial before my country as commander of the aerial fleet but dreaming about a kitchen.

“Some of the bravest women in our lives have been peasant women, Annie. They’re why we’re here. Even if they go unsung.”
