In the end, he was nobody to Adam, he was nobody to Ronan…

“In the end, he was nobody to Adam, he was nobody to Ronan. Adam spit his words back at him and Ronan squandered however many second chances he gave him. Gansey was just a guy with a lot of stuff and a hole inside him that chewed away more of his heart every year.” quote by Maggie Stiefvater
