Best friend Quote by Courtney Allison Moulton
““Other Guardians have died fulfilling their duty to you long before I came along,” he said, touching my cheek, my hair. “I will die for you one day.” “Don’t say that,” I begged. “Will, I love you. You’re the only one who understands what I go through every day, the only one I can share this world with. You’re my best friend, and I can’t take it if you’re going to shut me out like this.””
