“I will love you to ruination."
"Whose ruination? Your's or mine?"
You did not answer and I still wonder.”
― Ava Reid, A Study in Drowning

“Water finds its way through the smallest spaces and the narrowest cracks. Where the bone meets sinew, where the skin is split. It is treacherous and loving. You can die as easily of thirst as you can of drowning.”
― Ava Reid, A Study in Drowning

“Anything can be taken from you, at any moment. Even the past isn't guaranteed. You can lose that too, slowly, like water eating away at stone.”
― Ava Reid, A Study in Drowning

“What is a mermaid but a woman half-drowned,
What a selkie but an unwilling wife,
What a tale but a sea-net, snatching up both From the gentle tumult of dark waves?”
― Ava Reid, A Study in Drowning
