You know, sometimes I wonder what things would be like if I just ... met you one day. Like normal people do. If I just walked by you on some street one sunny morning and thought you were cute, stopped, shook your hand, and said, Hi, I'm Daniel.

So, when I thought June might take you away, I didn’t know what to do. I felt like she was taking everything that mattered to me.
