Leaving Quote by Sara Zarr
““When do you think you're leaving?" I asked. "I don't know. Probably soon. Got what I came here for." "Even though we didn't go back to your old house?" "That was only part of it," he said. "Not the main thing." A few more big flakes of snow drifted down from the starlit sky. "And what was the main thing?" "This," he said. "Right here.””
