“I know you love me, but Serena, Thatch is first, as he should be, and I’m okay with that. He deserves to be first. Hold onto him and hold on tight because he’s your sentence finisher. He’d not only bury the body for you, but he would make sure he took the fall. Thatch is that guy for you. Right now, it may be predictable, even a little boring, but you have the whole of the second half of your life to live. Can you even imagine trying to do it without him? Imagine waking up tomorrow, and his pillow is empty.”
