“It's amazing that relationships can form and last under the constraints of never fully knowing. Never knowing for sure what the other person is thinking.

“This was what family looked like. It wasn’t always the people who were related to you by blood. It was the people who would drop anything to help you when you were in need. It was the people who loved you regardless, in any situation. It was the people you chose—and who chose you right back.”
― Amanda Schimmoeller, A Royal Arrangement
