Know Happened Quote by Ally Condie

“He said he thought it happened fast, both for my dad and Ben and for the drunk driver who hit them, but for the rest of the questions he said, We just don’t know. We just don’t know. Some things are gone for good. You can’t get them back. You can’t know what happened. Ever.” quote by Ally Condie
