Famous Quotes:

“I know you well enough to understand you take every precaution to protect those you care about. My concern is for you. Do you give yourself the same care?”

“In a fair and just world, Ansel Rollins would have lived out his full sentence, and the day of his release, he would have suffered a painful and traumatic death. Instead, he’d managed to escape his punishment due to a stroke that had quietly ended his life in his sleep. The unfairness of it had the rage rattling that locked box inside me.”

“That was what we did. We left things alone. The only acknowledgment of our shared past was the bitter aftertaste that colored every interaction. Neither one of us was going to forgive or forget. We would just continue pretending it didn’t still eat away at us.”
