“You never liked Gabriel. Maybe our relationship was odd. I can understand how you’d see it that way. But he believed in me. So does Pierce. He doesn’t tell me not to look at a new house. He doesn’t tease me about my blog. He doesn’t continue to offer me a job I don’t want. He doesn’t wait for me to fail with an I told you so on the tip of his tongue. He’ll watch me jump off a cliff because he believes I’ll fly. And I will. I will fly. But you’re so busy standing at the bottom, waiting to pick up the pieces, that when you finally look up, I’ll have already flown away.”
