You've Reached Sam (You've Reached Sam, #1)

by Dustin Thao

if I could do it all over again, I would. Every second of it.”

You want to feel something. Something meaningful, and intense. You want to feel that thing in your heart and stomach. You want to be moved. To care about something, or fall in love, you know? And you want it to feel real. And different. And exciting.”

I know you’re here, Sam. I can feel you. Because you’re everywhere. You were back in the coffee shop, there at the lake, somewhere waiting in these fields. All this time I’ve been wondering why we’ve been given this second chance. But maybe we’re always connected, even after you’re gone. Because I can never completely lose you. You’re a part of me now. You’re everywhere I look, falling from the sky like petals.

“You’re wrong about something. You did leave your mark on the world, Sam. You left a mark on me. You changed my life.

You are my entire world, Julie. And one day, maybe I’ll only

be a small piece of yours. I hope you keep that piece.”
