Kindle Notes & Highlights
War can do that to people. Burn the prejudice and assumptions right out of them. Surviving requires working together. And nothing bonds people like shared trauma.
“Baby, I’ll take you home, take you to heaven, take you wherever you want to go.”
I went along with your lie because I knew you weren’t comfortable meeting me. I want to make an effort to respect your space. To respect your independence. But I also want you to know that I will burn the world down if it’ll keep you warm. And whenever you’re tired of fighting alone, and proving whatever you need to prove, I’ll be there to run with you. Fight with you. Hold you if it ever falls apart. I won’t tie you to my side as long as you promise you’ll keep coming back to me. As long as we can always be a team.”
