"He didn't owe them explanations. He intended to survive, he had one good reason to survive, and he didn't care whether they tagged along or not." (page 181)
I really liked this quote, not just because of the context, but I found it very inspiring. Robbie is a fighter and fights for what he believes in. This quote really made me think about the character development of not just Robbie but all the characters. At the beginning of the story, he was just an awkward gardener. Now he is off in the war. Cecilia is the reason he needs to stay alive. He has been in love with her since the first part of the book. I am curious to see their relationship develop throughout the rest of the book. I cannot wait to see how the book ends and how the families' relationships develop as they age.
