― Gillian Flynn, Sharp Objects

“A messenger came,” Dain says. “King Courtlyn has decided to keep Halden.” My stomach pitches. “Too fucking bad for Halden.” Xaden shrugs.”

“I drank the rest of the sours and had dark sticky dreams. My mother had cut me open and was unpacking my organs, stacking them in a row on my bed as my flesh flapped to either side. She was sewing her initials into each of them, then tossing them back into me, along with a passel of forgotten objects: an orange Day-Glo rubber ball I got from a gumball machine when I was ten; a pair of violet wool stockings I wore when I was twelve; a cheap gold-tinted ring a boy bought me when I was a freshman. With each object, relief that it was no longer lost.”
― Gillian Flynn, Sharp Objects
