“Even if he was a thief, he was my thief. I could not push him away anymore.”
“So I walked away and left him standing there in the moonlight - watching over nothing.”
“I was so awash in sensory overload that I was caught completely unaware when he did push me away”

“I watch him walk away with the only family he has left and I know why Adam joined the army. I know why he suffered through being Warner's whipping boy. I know why he dealt with the horrifying reality of war, why he was so desparate to run away, so ready to run way as soon as possible. Why he's so determined to fight back. He's fighting for so much more than himself.”
