"I think she chose you because she knew I'd go and find my daughter when it really came down to it, and I'd meet you again, living in her favorite house. It felt like a sign that night, when you opened the door in your flannel pyjamas with your hair spiraling in a thousand different directions. And I think she meant for it to be a sign. You're all that I ever hoped for in a partner, if I would've just opened my eyes. You care about everyone and everything, even those that society has shunned and wants to forget about. My mother always hoped I'd fall in love, and I think when it came down to it, she hoped I'd fall in love with you."
