When I was being recommended for university admission, she asked the school to lower the required score for me.
When I decided to stay and teach at the university, she requested a position through her student connection.
I often worried that I couldn’t keep up with Hallie, but she looked at me and said, "When I was eight, my parents divorced and neither wanted me."
"I sat alone in the stairwell from sunset to sunrise and you were the one who took me home."
"From that moment, I promised myself that I would never leave you."
"Byron, without you, there wouldn’t be who I am today. No matter how far I go, I will never leave you behind."
That’s the kind of person she was, unbelievably stubborn. Once she decided on something, she would hold onto it tightly.
Even when doing research projects, chasing after me and even when she cheated on me.
“Cheated?”
Hearing that, Cooper’s eyes went wide in shock.
“You two grew up together, childhood sweethearts, such a close bond and she still cheated?”
“Who’s the other man? A second-generation heir? A good-looking guy?”
“Or one of those scheming flirts from TV shows who love stirring trouble?”
Neither of those.
