“I suppose, but not in the way you see it. I mean, love is an illusion. My kind of love is respect. Because love, no matter how much people say it’s beautiful, it gives you a weak spot." Astra looked her straight in the eyes. "And when you live like I've lived, you don't have time for love, you can’t have that weakness.

That’s all it’s ever done for me. Not everyone gets a happy ending.”
