Neither of us had planned this life.
That might have been the best thing about it.
Because sometimes the moment that changes everything doesn’t arrive with music, certainty, or perfect timing.
Sometimes it comes at 11:47 on a rainy night when your best friend asks you for a favor.
Sometimes it sits silently in your passenger seat trying not to cry.
And sometimes it turns toward you in the darkness and asks you to take it somewhere quiet.
I did.
And I never regretted it.
