I don't want to seem ungrateful when you have given me this thoughtful, homemade and totally terrifying gift, Jamie told him. But you can't imagine I'm going to use it. Just to hold someone off. Just remember what I taught you, said Nick. Just buy a little time so I can come get you. Jamie. I'll come get you.

I wish, Jared began, and stopped, breathing in. Do you remember how you used to believe I wasn't real? Sometimes I wish that was true. If I was just a thought in the back of your mind, then I'd be with you, and I'd be better.
