Summary
Emmanuel is unable to make himself say the words to his daughter: you, somewhere, have a soulmate, and the permanent marks of their life will be written across your skin for all of yours, just as your life is being written on theirs. No, I don't know who or how to find them. No, I don't know why. It's like magic, baby, in this sad and awful world of ours where magic does not exist and bad things happen all of the time.

Summary
She’s still hunched over beside the dumpsters, hands on her knees, heaving up air because there’s nothing left in her stomach. She reaches out a shaky hand to give him a thumbs up. “Seriously, man, I’m fine. All good.”
Something inside him twists and squeezes brutally. Is this what this place is doing to her? “For fuck’s sake, Syd. I’m giving you a ride home.”

Summary
“You know, I think we have this tendency to think of chaos as a bad thing. Like, if something’s chaotic it must be harmful, and it must be changed, or…ordered. But I think chaos itself is…natural, you know? The world around us thrives on chaos. Small changes make big differences. The butterfly effect, I guess. And, at its best, out of chaos comes creativity. I think it’s more about how we respond to the chaos that counts.”
“And how do I...we— How does anyone do that? Respond to the chaos?”
“I guess…learn to ride the wave, chef.”

They get wrecked trying to fix their mess.Bookmarked by jmb25
