Life Quote by Lauren DeStefano
““Rhine: It's okay that you miss her. She was the love of your life. Linden: Not the only love. It feels wrong to think about her as often as I do. Rhine: You should think about her everyday. You shouldn't try to look for her anywhere else, because you'll never find her. You'll see her walking away in a crowded street, and when you reach for her, she'll turn around and be somebody else. Just keep her here (on your heart), okay? It's the only place you'll always be able to find her.””
