“You are terrifying and strange and beautiful, someone not everyone knows how to love.”

“The boy is destined for greatness, but with you, he is in danger. You are linked, the two of you. You must leave him. This is what I have seen.”

“I can’t,” was all I said to her, and quietly.

“Then you will love him to ruins,” she said, and let my hands go.”
― Michelle Hodkin, The Evolution of Mara Dyer
