There were signs. Probably more of them than I ever caught, even after the fact. But I missed them all. Maybe because I wasn’t looking for them. I was too busy checking over my shoulder at the fire I’d just come through to pay much attention to the thousand-foot cliff looming in front of me.

Why get stained when getting dirty is so much more fun
Gayle Forman
Image
Girlfriend is such a stupid word. I couldn't stand calling her that. So, we had to get married, so I could call her 'wife.
Gayle Forman
Image
I've become to realize there's a world of difference between knowing something happened, even knowing why it happened, and believing it.
Gayle Forman
Image
You just work through it. You just hang in there.
Gayle Forman
Image
How can it be so unclear to her when it's like the fingers on my hand to me?
Gayle Forman
Image
About being grateful for what you have instead of yearning for what you think you want.
Gayle Forman
Image
I'm also starting to wonder something else. If maybe the point of this crazy quest I'm on wasn't to help me find Willem. Maybe it was to help me find someone else entirely.

She left for Juilliard the day after Labor Day. I drove her to the airport. She kissed me good-bye. She told me that she loved me more than life itself. Then she stepped through security. She never came back.
