“Run little mouse”
― H.D. Carlton, Haunting Adeline

“What you've forgotten is that the heart beating inside your chest isn't fucking yours," he snarls. "It's mine. And if my heart has stopped working, then pull the trigger, little mouse. Kill the rest of me. I'm nothing if I'm not the reason you breathe.”

“What are you feeling right now?" he asks softly.
My breathing escalates. "Confined."
"Trapped?" he volleys back. My mouth tightens because while a part of me wants to say yes, the truth is that I don't.
I feel... safe.
Protected.
Treasured.
"One day, you will realize that you are not trapped in a prison," he murmurs roughly. "You are in my church where I am your God, and you are my equal. I'm not a jail, little mouse, I am your sanctuary.”

“It has a way of making you feel small and insignificant when you're standing before a sight as beautiful as that”
