Kindle Notes & Highlights
Being scared and weak aren't synonymous. It takes strength to keep getting back up after constantly being knocked down.
“What happened to you does not define you. It only forged a new path that will take you to a different version of yourself. But no one can force you to walk that road; only you can determine who you will be once you get there. It’s your choice who you become, Sawyer.”

“I’ll get you to smile one of these days,” she murmurs. “Maybe you should do it one time before I die.” “You’re not dying.” “You sure? I think I hear Jesus talking to me.” “Then you’re definitely not dying. Jesus would never talk to you.”
She snorts, then groans. “You’re right. Maybe it’s just your voice I’m hearing, and that’s my sign I’m going to Hell. You are the devil, after all.” If I’m the devil, she’s fucking Lilith.
“What will take me first? A sea creature or hypothermia?” “You'd run from a sea creature,” he states dryly. I chuckle, turning back to the moon. “You're right. Hypothermia it is.”
“You’ve been an unbearably raging asshole to me this entire time. Yes, I fucked up, but you’re, like… really fucking mean, and you’ve hurt my feelings more than I care to admit.” I nod slowly. “You’re right.” Feeling invigorated, she forges on, “If you want me to stay with you—choose you—then I want you to get on your knees and apologize for how you’ve been treating me,” she tells me, pointing to the floor for extra measure.
