"And I didn't die in any of the futures the island showed me," Kathy said quietly. "But I did. So, take what the island shows you with a grain of salt, okay?"

"And my advice is? Make mistakes in love," she said. "Finding out what you don't want is almost as important as learning what you do want. I couldn't appreciate Anders and Dante today if it hadn't been for Nick and Ezra - and even the Anders and Dante from high school. But it's okay to discover what you thought you wanted isn't what you really need. Everything you learn that you don't want will help you figure out what's right for you when you see it."
She grinned, thinking of her guys. "Oh, and perfect doesn't exist. Don't bother looking for it. But that's okay, because it'd be really boring if you found it."
