“I wanted to tell him that you can meet someone and they can change your life forever, even if you have only known him for a short while, that when you leave, you're a different person than before you met him... and I undertstand that because of meeting Deni.”

“There are others watching over you from the other side of the veil. We watch. We listen. And we understand. We never leave your side, Azadeh.

“If you have known someone your whole life, you can see them in the dark.”
