June Riva Quotes

“And because June had not shrugged off his arm, Mick felt confident enough to kiss her neck. And because she had not shrugged off the small request, she did not know how to shrug off the larger one. And on and on it went. Small boundaries broken, snapped like tiny twigs so many that June barely noticed he was coming for the whole tree.
With every move Mick made, as he held her, as he kissed her, June lost sight of the exact moment to speak up and then resigned herself to the pain of having never spoken up at all.”

“She had lost the life she had believed she’d been granted. She was in mourning.”

“June ended up in the exact place she had hoped Mick Riva would save her from.”
