“To live. To build a life that recognizes the aftermath of my pain, without revolving around it. To walk forward and try new things, even things I feel fear or trepidation about. To build bonds with people who I choose to trust, not just who I am forced to obey.”

"All wonderful things to want, " George says warmly, "I'm honoured that you trust me enough to share them. I hope you'll tell me if I can help in the pursuit."
"You already are helping, and I think you know that." Siebren lets out a bit of a warm laugh. "You've been kind to me in a way I had grown not to expect."
