There was no way she’d let me leave when she hadn’t hit rock bottom yet. “Don’t you dare leave! We’re continuing. I still have money!” Most of the money in the suitcase was already in our hands.

He moved through it without distraction. Others worked in silence. Some maintained the structure of Heaven itself, reinforcing what did not decay.
