“Sometimes, I wish I’d never met you. Because now that I have, now that I’m in love with you, I’ll never be able to carve you out. You said I’d bleed out before that’d ever happen, and you were right. And I hate you for that.”

“My redemption is your salvation.”

“I would kill for you-I have killed for you- but I would also put down a gun and never pick it up again if you asked it of me. The lengths I would go to for you are terrifying, little mouse.
