Between the Lives
Quotes from the Book
It's my privilege to love you.
Nothing is endless I know that now Let me go V -Violet's letter
It's too late!" I cried "I thought that once, too. But it's never too late. You taught me that. Love can make us eternal.” Phoenix’s eyes closed, haunted to the end. “I'm sorry,” were his last words. "I forgive you,” I sobbed, gripping onto him desperately. “I forgive you.” It was too late. All. Too. Late.
