"She's the bravest, most selfless person I've ever met. You know how most people do good things because - ultimately - it makes them feel good? They're really more interested in helping themselves than other people? Shane... when she does something for me, it's for me. Not for her. She's gentle, and thoughtful, and she gets so angry about the things that have hurt me, as if she wants to track each of them down and fight them away from my life and mind.
"She doesn't talk much about herself, and she doesn't ask questions about me, but when she looks at me, she really sees, you know? Sees deep down, everything I am and was and might ever be, and just accepts me. All of it."
