“Did you hire an attorney?” “And pay him with what? Tears?”
In a hot, dark voice, he says, “Because my wife asked me to. And I’ll give her anything she wants.” I sit there breathing unevenly

Arlo returns with our drinks and a whiskey for Callum that he didn’t ask for but obviously needs.
“He said he saw his whole future the first time he looked into your eyes.”
“Sometimes love doesn’t make any sense. But it doesn’t have to. When you find someone who makes your soul sing, all that matters is joining in the song.”
