To Resurrect
Quotes
In the car with Tito Danilo and Grace on the way back to Lolo and Lola's, I think about how there's a new grief in remembering Jun now, knowing what eventually happened, knowing that he was more than my idea of him in ways I do not like, knowing that there's probably so much more I'll never know.
I was determined to find the truth. And I did—at least a piece of it. But was it worth it? What do I even do now?
This didn't play out how I thought it would.
I expected the truth to illuminate, to resurrect.
Not to ruin.
