But then Mason touches my neck, to the spot on it where the cut from that night has since healed, and I pull away. He was right, after all it didn't leave a scar, though part of me wishes it had.

You stood over me and you made a promise to me, as sacred as any vow. And I can understand why you're angry, but you can't blame me. You can't hate me for taking your word.
Gayle Forman
Image
..all I left with was the magnitude of my mistake, of my missing you. And I have to watch you from this distance, watch you achieve your dreams, live what seemed like this perfect life.
Gayle Forman
Image
I don't know who I am. Or maybe I do know who I am and I just don't want to be her anymore.
Gayle Forman
Image
It was selfish what I asked her to do, even if it wound up being the most unselfish thing I've ever done.

In that twisted incestuous way of fate, Mia's a part of our history, and we're among the shards of her legacy.
Gayle Forman

It's just accidental, just temporary. Until the next accident sends me somewhere new. That's how life works.

Image
I want to ask him where that kitchen is. Where he's from. But he seems guarded. Or maybe it's me. Maybe making friends is a specific skill, and I missed the lesson.
