  For Matt
  
  
  Who has always believed in me and encouraged me to chase my dreams no matter
  what.
  
  
  
  
  
  This book was hard. You went above and beyond to make sure it was done on
  time.
  
  
  
  
  
  You did a lot of double duty to allow me the time I needed to finish, to
  pursue this crazy dream of writing for a living.
  
  
  
  
  
  Thank you.
  
  
  
  
  
  There’s no one else I’d rather do life with.
  
  
  
  
  
  I love you.
