Go sit down and look pale.

love gave someone the power to break you. I'd been broken beyond repair.

My skin burns where it meets his. It feels better than good, but it sets off a strange aching in my chest.

I’m just going to do what I want now, and let the chips fall where they may.

He’s playing every bit as hard as I am, only he knows what he’s doing and I don’t. Don’t blame me because he’s a better manipulator than I am — I haven’t been around long enough to learn all his tricks.

I didn't want to be the monster! I didn't want to kill this room full of harmless children! I didn't want to lose everything I'd gained in a lifetime of sacrifice and denial!

Go sit down and look pale.
