Despite It All Quotes

“He chuckles and pulls out his phone. “A bad dad and a bad partner wouldn’t call their girlfriend’s dad and leave this voicemail.” He turns his phone on speaker. “Hi Mr. Bennett, it’s Jett. I just dropped the girls off at the airport and there’s something you should know. I’ve asked Wyla to move here with me to Seattle. I know I’m not your favorite person and I’m probably shooting myself in the foot on that chance you’re giving me, but I love your daughter. Of course I love Stevie too, but I fell in love with Wyla first. Being with her is all I’ve thought about for the past five years. This would all sound a hell of a lot better in person, or not to your voicemail, but I want you to know I’m going to take care of them.”

“I knew in my gut when I got up I should have stayed or woken you up before I left.” The tears continue, and my voice has no strength in its tone at all. “Something inside me was begging for me to stay, but I was terrified you would reject me and I knew that would crush me. So, no, Jett. I can’t believe you wanted me back then. That if I had stayed we would have probably seen each other again. That I wouldn’t have had to do all of it alone and you wouldn’t have missed major milestones in your kid’s life. I took those things from you, Jett. I took those away from Stevie… The guilt already eats me alive, because at the end of the day I walked out of that room first… not you.”

“The thing is, I raised my daughters to be strong and independent. As much as I’d like to think my wife needs me, I know she doesn’t, and my daughters don’t need their men either. They are all perfectly capable of providing for themselves. I think Wyla, specifically, has proven that.”

“I can’t really put all this into words yet. I’ve never really been someone who believes in soulmates, but I also have never been someone to be completely enthralled by a girl either. But with Wyla, I was enthralled. Fuck, I think I’m in love with her. Maybe I am crazy?”

“One-night stands aren’t supposed to absolutely wreck your mind—or your dick, really. But Wyla has taken over both, getting over her seems impossible.”
