"You're smart, a good person, I only just met you but I can tell. You didn't deserve to grow up with pain, and look at the person you've still grown up to be anyway. With what's going in the world, it's best to be with someone who makes you feel loved. Nuh waste your time with people who don't."

Ah Jesse! 🥹 I wonder just how different he would have been if he had been raised in a more accepting kind of home. I too wish we had met and learned so much more about Robert. He clearly lived a very intriguing life.

But then again, all this led to Owen huh?! I don't see a more kind ending for Jesse than the one the author granted him. 💔♥️
