I turned to look at him, exhaling rapidly before I talked. “I know he won't make that mistake of attacking first again. And if he plans to, we act on the famous quotes.” I said as I took a deep breath, wiping my face with my palm. “What famous quote are you talking about?” He asked as his eyes were opened widely, raising an eyebrow and looking rather curious. I smirked a little, tilting my head to face the direction of the crib of my baby. “Never interrupt your enemies when they are making a mistake,” I said slowly as if I were counting my words as they came out of my mouth. I adjusted on the bed, leaning forward a bit as I exhaled rapidly. Lucas took a deep breath as he licked his lips.

“You're proving them wrong every day you stay. Every time you fight, every time you stand your ground, you’re proving them wrong. But respect in this world? It’s earned drop by drop, like blood.” “Sometimes it feels like I’ll never have enough.” Sienna whispered. “You will.” Enzo assured her, voice firm. “And when you do, they’ll regret ever doubting you. Until then, you’ve got me. That’s all you need.”

"Well, life is not fair, Aniston and unfair things happen to people all the time. But we don't throw in the towel. Instead we suck it up and keep pushing" I clenched my fist in solidarity. Aniston narrowed her eyes on me. "Did you seriously just quote Coach Richardson from that movie 'boys on fire'? How dumb do you think I am?"

He finally figured out the answer. “To define is to limit.” That was the quote by Oscar Wilde that he cherished. “Now, I understand, Joe. I finally understand this quote!

I felt so relieved thinking about this. I’m beginning a new life! Yes! I can begin a new life!”

“I just wanna be enough... you know.” Quinton leaned back in his chair, studying me. Then he clicked his tongue. “Zai,” he said, firm. “You are enough. Just not for the wrong people.” I let out a shaky breath. “Feels like the wrong people always matter the most.” He snorted. “That’s life bein’ petty.” I laughed weakly despite myself. Quinton stood and tossed his empty plate into the sink. Then he turned back to me, arms crossed. “You can stay as long as you want, you know that, right?” he said. “This crib always open for you.”

--- The winter has come. The garden slept. Celeste and I sat by the fire, holding hands, watching the flames. "I've been thinking about enough," she said. "What about it?" "I used to think enough was a failure. A settling. A giving up." "And now?" "Now I think enough is a gift. The ability to say: I have what I need. I've done what I could. I am what I am."
