“I had never given much thought to how I would die, but dying in the place of someone I love doesn't seem like such a bad way to go.”

“It was like someone had died- like I had died. Because it had been more than just losing the truest of true loves, as if that were not enough to kill anyone. It was also losing a whole future, a whole family- the whole life that I'd chosen... ”
