Sohalia
Say my name
And every color illuminates
And every color illuminates
Her heart went out to Harper - and, by extension, to Jude. She cringed to think of him leaving her apartment, heartbroken and alone, to find Harper gone. For her to have spoken with Harper before his own son. Guilt swarmed her, and she fought past the lump in her throat to shake her head vehemently. "Everyone has something to be sorry for," she said. "I think it's just human nature." Harper had left. Soh had broken Jude's heart. And Jude? What did he have to be sorry for, except being in the wrong place at the wrong time? Except for trusting the wrong girl with his heart?
Gods, what she wouldn't give to go back and be the right girl, even though she knew she couldn't.
"Of course I would," she said with conviction.

"You don't have to be doing something to be worthy of a life that feels good to live. Even if you don't know what that is yet."

We are shining
And we will never be afraid again
And we will never be afraid again
