As Sylvie continued to talk, Drake got the sense that the people she loved had never loved her back. Her only true joy came from baking and they were trying to take that away from her too by stealing her mother's prized recipe book and selling it to some big snack company.
Neither of them had ever deserved her. If he had someone who treated him so sincerely, he would never take them for granted.
