That all I had to do was be myself (smart, hardworking, funny) and be patient and kind and he and I would find each other.”

“No. Ye loved him. I canna hold it against either of you that ye mourn him. And it gives me some comfort to know ..." He hesitated, and I reached up to smooth the rumpled hair off his face.”
