“Joe would have told her that none of that had been her fault. He would have kissed the top of her head as he explained that she had done everything right. She almost called him but stopped herself. He would race home and lift this burden from her shoulders, but this time that wasn't what Lila wanted. She loved him to hell and back, but she knew she needed to stand against this wind on her own.” — Allen Eskens
