“...beauty for me is a quiet girl with a brilliant mind, a debate team captain with a calm voice and textbooks covered in color coded annotations. Beauty for me is a girl with cold skin and a faraway gaze, a girl who loves children's books but rarely laughs. Beauty for me is sage green silk and soft white wool and forget me not eyes. My definition of beauty starts and ends with Theodora. And as for the value I give her, its immeasurable. She is worth dying for, living for. Killing for probably, or at least poisoning for. She is worth every academic failure, every restless night, all the suffering and yearning and hopelessness. She isn't worth everything. She is everything.”

Words like: if you wanted what’s best for me, you wouldn’t have kept me trapped in this hellhole for all these years. If you wanted what’s best for me, you wouldn’t have forced me to endure bullying, mockery and insults all this time. If you wanted what’s best for me, you’d actually ask me what I want for once.”

“I love you, Willow Lynch, I love you and I fucking hate it. You’ve managed to turn my entire body into a playground for your pleasure, my every thought into a shrine dedicated to your chaos.

Loving you is a punishment, it’s the hell in which I’ll suffer for eternity.”
