All I Wanted

I don’t know when I stopped thinking things through. Before I even realized it, it was just one mistake after the other. Mistakes with consequences I refused to face. I know very well what I’ve done. And I know all the people I let down. My mother, my husband, the love of my life, and even myself.

To hell with Carter.
I, Sage Pencey, apologize for everything I’ve done.
I apologize for the mess I created my life to be.
