“Oliver burst into tears. He hadn't meant to hadn't expected to but hearing those words, my son, from his mother was so unexpected but so needed that it broke the dam of anxiety within him.”
Mothers really always get it but so glad the day was the first one to be supportive

“”I love you, Oliver," Darcy said. "Most ardently."
It was everything Oliver had ever dreamed of hearing.
Everything he'd been so afraid he would never hear. It was every dream he dared have wrapped in a bow and presented with so much warmth in those brown eyes that Oliver couldn't deny their legitimacy.” My heart!!!

This book is too good!!

“His father squeezed his shoulders. "When you're ready, son,
P'l be right there with you."
Oliver hadn't realized how much he needed to hear those words. His whole body relaxed with an inaudible sigh, and though tears gathered in the corners of Oliver's eyes, he was smiling.”

“"Father,"…"You should know..." God, he was trembling. His insides felt like a plucked string, reverberating with sound. "You should know my name is Oliver. And I'm ... I'm your son." Mr. Bennet's smile grew into a full grin, spreading across his face like a plant turning its leaves to the sun. "You most certainly are," he said, and then his arms were around Oliver.””
