Robyn Carr Quote
I don’t know what to say. You just accept everything. You’re amazing. I thought you might be very pissed. Nah. The only thing that disappoints me is that it took me this long to find you. Even with all my baggage? she asked. I don’t consider this baggage. He leaned over and kissed her belly. I consider this the grand prize. You want it? she asked. I told you, he said. I want it. It makes me happy. God, she said in a breath. I was afraid. Of? Of you saying, ‘Holy shit—I’m forty! What do I want with a baby?’ He laughed at her. I didn’t say that, did I? Nah, I’m ready. A family sounds good. Jack, she said, I’m still afraid. Of? Of believing in us. My last stab at something like this ended so, so badly. I thought I’d never get over it. I’m not sure I am yet. Well, you’re just going to have to take a leap of faith, he said. I think I can do that, she said. If you’re there to catch me. I’m here, he said. I haven’t let you down yet, have I? She put her hand against his face. No, Jack. You sure haven’t. *
