People always wanted to believe that someone else was looking for a solution. People always wanted to believe that someone else had answers. I’d given up on that, myself.
“She forced love into this loveless space, made it the subject of her life. She showed them that she, the Hurricane, was capable of great love, and that if they’d look they’d see they were too. And maybe someday they would understand what they’d enabled, what they’d created.”
