we. But you have a choice in what happens now. We don’t. You’re the one in control and all we can do is sit on the sidelines and watch, even if you
keep making the wrong calls over and over again.” We’re obviously veering into sports metaphor territory. “We’re not going to force you to do

your life.”
― Katja Millay, The Sea of Tranquility

Having to want you all over again, with no hope of my desire ever being fulfilled. You’re mine, Angel. Every last piece of you. I won’t let anything change that.”

For people like me and Echo, our souls contained more scar tissue than life.”

If you want to see your mom, then tell me that too. I may not always understand, but damn, baby, I’ll try.”
― Katie McGarry, Pushing the Limits

"What's that?" I struggled to get out.
"It's your birthday."
Terrified speaking would break the spell, I licked my suddenly dry lips and nodded.
