Rick Yancey
When I wake up the next morning, there's a Hershey's Kiss sitting on the table beside me.
Rick Yancey
I had it all wrong, he says. Before I found you, I thought the only way to hold on was to find something to live for. It isn't. To hold on, you have to find something you're willing to die for.
