“With Caspian Marks, you could watch him in amazement.
He was worthwhile. Worth learning about, worth watching, worth getting to know. He was interesting and he was knowledgeable in a worldly way and he always had something—whether it was necessary or not—to say. He was pure and he was kind, genuinely kind. Sincerity encompassed him, warmth brimmed his soul, and tenderness flooded his touch.”

At least a somebody to me.”

Endless people to meet and get to know, Brantley Thornton.

This universe is endless, Brantley Thornton, and I think you should take every advantage you can of that.”

“Caspian Marks was the sun, too.
He was the person who was bright and beaming, lightened up the world of everyone around him, even those who did not truly regard him; because he was always there, and his warmth was always constant. He outshined everyone without ever trying. Had no competition that could compete with his luminescence and energy. His heart was grand and his soul was the most radiant thing about him—he made sure of it. His eyes, they even shined, too. And others would, without a doubt, if not already, revolve their life around him. Their world would turn... because of him; he’d help them spin it. They would go on and have the ability to, because of him; he’d help them through it.
Caspian Marks... he was the sun.”

“Fate may have thrown something in your way and touched you. It may have touched your heart, it may have touched your soul, it may have touched your mother and her short-lived, beautiful life, and it may have ruined you, but you are not ruined forever, Brantley Thornton. Fate may have thrown this tragic event in your way, but it also sent me. I think fate sent me to save you.”
― Braelyn Wilson, Counting Stars

“You loved your mother, Brantley Thornton. That is not something that will just go away. That grief... it is going to stay with you for some time, if not forever. And it may hurt. It may break you. But it also shows that you have loved. It shows that you have loved, so strongly. Because if you did not, you would not be able to hurt so strongly. It hurts, but it is beautiful to know that you have loved someone the amount that you did. As courageously as you did. As fiercely... as you did. That you loved someone with everything you had in you.”
