If there was one good thing that came out of all this, it was that I got to meet you. I would go through it all again - I would, as long as it meant I'd met you.

I pulled myself from his mind, day by day, piece by piece, memory by memory, until there was nothing of Ruby left to weigh him down or keep him bound to my side.

Thank you,” he was whispering, “thank you, thank you.…” And then he was kissing my face, every inch of it he could find, wiping away the tears and soot, chanting my name.

He doesn't bring many girls round unless they're part of a job - but also 'cause his smell can sometimes kill kittens.

The darkest minds never fade in the afterlight.

Dreaming led to disappointment, and disappointment to a kind of depressed funk that wasn’t easy to shake. Better to stay in the gray than get eaten by the dark.

We want you. We wanted you yesterday, we want you today and we'll want you tomorrow. There's nothing you could do to change that.
