“I’ve read hundreds of novels in my life, most of them claiming that love was the center of the universe. That it could heal any damage inside of us. That it was what we needed to survive. From Darcy to Heathcliff, I thought they were fools. That love was something fictional, only found in worn pages of a book. That it was just made up to keep humans full of hope, that it was a lie. But all that changed since I met my Elizabeth Bennett. I never thought I would find myself completely and utterly consumed by another until her. She took my hand and led me out of the darkness and showed me that, whatever our souls are made of, hers and mine are the same.
I’m sorry, please forgive me.
You once asked me who I loved most in this world.
It’s you.

“All I'd wanted was a normal life. Then I'd met Nicco, and it was like being in a fairytale. My very own prince to chase away the monsters and protect my heart. But it was all a lie. The truth was much worse. The truth was my life had just become a living nightmare. One I didn't know how I would survive.”

“Era incredibile come il semplice gesto di cercare qualcuno svelasse quanto si conosceva di quella persona. Volevo trovarlo, volevo che capisse che io c'ero. Trovarlo era il mio: 'volevo vederti ballare' , era il mio sapere cosa stesse leggendo, il mio augurio di buon compleanno. E forse lui non sapeva neanche cosa significasse per me interessarmi così a qualcuno, ma per una volta volevo essere io a tenere lui al sicuro, dietro una tenda, e danzare con i suoi fantasmi.”
