“You haven’t found love since Marcus, even though Marcus only ever wanted that for you. His note begged you to move on and find love. His words beseeched me to burn down this fucking town. You haven’t done your part to ensure his last request, because you’ve been too busy helping me with mine. Maybe…

ME: I know. Look after yourself. Don’t worry about me. ME: And thank you for accepting me and understanding.
