“As a human, I’d loved the stories because I loved fantasies. And that’s what they had been to me: fantasies. Myths and legends.”
― Carissa Broadbent, The Songbird & the Heart of Stone

“What if the universe listened? What if you or your mom or the kids were supposed to die in a car crash and your dad said ‘Take me instead’—and the universe did. And nobody remembers the way it was supposed to be because that’s the deal. You never get to know that he’s a hero. The fates are reversed and the tribute takes the thing he asked for to save someone he loves. If you think of it that way, instead of being sad that he’s gone, be happy that he got what he wanted. And that somebody loved you enough to take your place.”

“This was one of my first lessons in how you make the future: moment by moment, you seal the doors of possibility behind you.”

“To me, love meant you stayed. But now I understood that love sometimes means you let someone go.”
