    J.D. Stroube
    “A complete stranger has the capacity to alter the life of another irrevocably. This domino effect has the capacity to change the course of an entire world. That is what life is; a chain reaction of individuals colliding with others and influencing their lives without realizing it. A decision that seems miniscule to you, may be monumental to the fate of the world.”
    ― J.D. Stroube, Caged by Damnation

    “I might be falling in love with you," I whisper, finding it hard to focus on his face.
    "Kate," he says, almost sadly.
    "what? You might be falling in love with me too?" My voice is hopeful, pathetically hopeful.
    He shakes his head.
    "You aren't falling in love with me?"
    He doesn't respond. I touch his face carefully with the tips of my fingers. His skin is incredibly soft above the line of hard jawbone. I touch his silky black hair. His eyes close and i want to kiss his eyes, but I'm afraid. Afraid of all this. This could destroy me.
    He opens his eyes. "Kate, I'm already in love with you.”
