He would put these little fishes onto crackers for me, and then I would hear him coming back down the hallway, carrying the sardines and humming, returning to me. Such tenderness.

Tobias says thank you over his shoulder as we make our way down the hallway together, me skipping every other step. — Veronica Roth
