“Livid:

F* You for cheating on me. F* you for reducing it to the word cheating. As if this were a card game, and you sneaked a look at my hand. Who came up with the term cheating, anyway? A cheater, I imagine. Someone who thought liar was too harsh. Someone who thought devastator was too emotional. The same person who thought, oops, he’d gotten caught with his hand in the cookie jar. F* you. This isn’t about slipping yourself an extra twenty dollars of Monopoly money. These are our lives. You went and broke our lives. You are so much worse than a cheater. You killed something. And you killed it when its back was turned.”

The key is to never recognize these imbalances. To not let the dauntingness daunt us.”
― David Levithan, The Lover's Dictionary

You love my parents, I know. But you never get too close. You never truly believe there aren't bad secrets underneath.”
