Luce blushed. “Then what kind of angel are you?” “I’m sort of in between gigs right now,” Daniel said.
This was weird. The thing that could have driven two friends instantly apart was actually drawing them closer together.
Was their love worth the erasure of the world and all its stories?
Grief can choke you. It’s dangerous, something else you have to beat.

Heartbreak is its own form of amnesia.
Trust is a careless pursuit.
You must remember how to dream what you already know.

Luce: You could have kept your promises. Daniel: I promised I’d stay.
How easy it was to fall in love with every moment of her existence!
After such an emotional day with her own parents, the thought nearly brought Luce to her knees with sadness. Daniel was alone in the world.

When one lover suffered from a broken heart, no matter how badly the other wanted to help, she couldn’t be the one to heal it.
Cam: She is so lovely when she sleeps. Daniel: Is that why you wanted her to sleep for all eternity?
Cam was so much clearer, easier to figure out. Like he was algebra and Daniel was calculus.

Well, Luce, my dear, you may have gone to boarding school parties, but you’ve never seen a throw-down like reform school kids do it.
I want you to know that I would do it all again. I will choose you every time.
