A life made up of promises of what could be: the possibilities contained in a stack of college applications, the thrill of sleeping under a strange roof, the future that lay in Sam's smile.

It was a life I didn't want to forget.
I wasn't done with it yet. There was so much more to say. — Maggie Stiefvater
