“The stars that inhabited the boy’s eyes flew over to mine and blinded my vision, almost in an attempt to tell me, without really having to tell me, you are special, Brantley Thornton, and you are worth it. Only for a second. And for that second, I got a taste of the reassurance, I got a taste of the amenity and tranquility. And for that second, I did feel special, and I did feel worth it.”
