Quotes
You are a light in this world,
You are a light in this world,
don’t waste it on those who can’t see it.
Find the people who can.
-Dedication
“Elias, what is this?” Her voice wavers when she pulls my wrist toward her, dusting her fingers over the reddened skin where the fresh tattoo sits.
“It’s a plant,” I reply. The stems intertwine to curl around my wrist, their multiple branches covering the surface of my skin in a meticulous design. Her eyes dart to mine.
“What plant?”
“Sage.”
“Sage? Is ... is this why you disappeared earlier?” Her voice shakes. “Your mom said you were helping with groceries.”
“I was,” I confirm. Her disbelief deepens. “And a tattoo just happened to be on the grocery list?” she deadpans. “Why?”
“You know why.” She shakes her head.
“No, actually I don’t.”
“Because I love you, and I want you with me all the time, even on the days you can’t be.”
-Sage and Elias (Ch. 41)
“You got it for me?”
I give her a blank look. “I don’t know anyone else named Sage.”
She laughs. “You could just really love the herb.”
“No, I think I really love the girl.”
