Youโre so beautiful. I wish Iโd seen you as a child. (Acheron) You didnโt miss much. I had buck teeth and stringy hair. (Kat)
Sherrilyn KenyonOh no, thatโs for you. Presents make people happy. The Simi wants you to be happy. (Simi) Thank you, Simi. (Gallagher) No need to thank me. See, thatโs what families do. They take care of each other. (Simi) I no longer have a family. I had to give them up. (Gallagher) Of course you have a family. Everyone has family. Iโm your family. Akri your family. Even that smelly old goddess is your family. Sheโs that creepy old aunt who comes around but nobody likes her so they make fun of her when sheโs gone. (Simi)
Sherrilyn KenyonItโs as if your kind needs adversity in order to achieve. (Leta) No, we donโt. Thatโs just a lie people tell themselves to feel better about all the people who kick them in their teeth when itโs just as easy to help a man up as it is to knock him to the ground. Thatโs why Iโve withdrawn from this world. I donโt want to have to watch my back all the time and Iโm tired of trying to figure out if the loyalty someone professes is real and true, or just another lie that will crumble the instant they taste jealousy.
