Love is not something you protect. It’s something you risk.
Gayle Forman
Image
There are like twenty people in that waiting room right now. Some of them are related to you. Some of them are not. But we're all your family.' She stops now. Leans over me so that the wisps of her hair tickle my face. She kisses me on the forehead. 'You still have a family,' she whispers.
Gayle Forman
