““So many mistakes and missed chances. Do you feel it too? And I’m sorry. I’m so fucking sorry. I sink down to my knees, because my legs refuse to hold me up anymore. My back bows and I lift my face to the sky, letting the rain mix with the regret and sorrow leaking from my eyes. Because I should have told her. I should have given her those words. And I would give anything . . . I would die for the chance to go back and tell her now. Tell her the truth. I feel it too, Ellie. I always have.””
