And it seemed only right that the person who came to find the other one should be me. You did the hard thing first. You told me to go save myself when everything in you wanted to hold on. So the least I could do was come find you in person where you'd have to look at me and know I meant it. Nathan turned the glass in his hands.

That's the one promise I made you in a parking lot 2 and 1/2 months ago before I knew if I'd ever even see you again.
