“The only precious things in life breathe.”

“Shy hasn’t exactly lived his life holding it precious waiting for the one”

“You got one life, never use it just to breathe.”

“Learn from them, baby. You got one life, never use it just to breathe.”

“You're their fucking daughter! Do they not know how precious you are?”

“There are very few, very fuckin' few people, Kia, who get what's precious in this world. They work their asses off for pure shit and think they'd fight and die to keep it. You don't fight and die for shit. You fight and die for things that matter. You are the first woman I've met outside a life that leads you to understand that shit who gets that. And straight up, baby, you gotta know, I like that a fuckuva lot.”

“In this world,” I kept whispering, “you were the only thing I had but you were the only thing I needed.”
