Jodi Picoult Quote

For God's sake, if I learned anything during this damn trial it's that the only way someone can leave you is if you let them. And I'm not doing that, Dee. It may look like that today, or tomorrow, or even a month from now, but one day you're going to wake up and see that this whole time you've been gone, you've only been headed back to where you started. And I'll be there, waiting. He leans forward and kisses me once, feather-light, on the lips. It's not like I'm not letting you go, he murmurs. I'm just trusting you enough to come back.
