“You didn't go to a family outing. You went on one.”

“Remember that day you said you loved me? Remember that? See, you could do that because you're basically a sane person, who grew up in a loving, sane family. You could take a risk like that. But in my family we didn't go around saying we loved each other. We went around screaming at each other. So what do I do, when you say you love me? I go and undermine it.”

“I missed you, Angel. Not one day went by that I didn't feel you missing from my life.”

“You're not going to say hi to Thomas?" I whispered. He didn't look at me when he spoke, watching his family hug and laugh. "I got one night with you. I'm not going to waste a second of it.”

“When you lose your best friend it's not always because they go somewhere, like Noah's best friend did. Sometimes you're the one who goes somewhere. What if you go somewhere and you don't know it? How do you make it better when you went somewhere and you didn't know it then, but you do now?”

“Unwinds didn't go out with a bang-they didn't even go out with a whimper. they went out with the silence of a candle flame pinched between two fingers.”
