‘I would give anything to ease the hurt on this girl’s face. Anything.’ 😭

Ohhh they are all cute 🥰🥹🥹
‘As I speak, I feel Annie’s fingers find mine again, roll them into hers on our knees beneath the table, and a feeling like dizziness comes over me. Hours left. And we’re still together, and she’s smiling. Smiling while she holds my hand.’
