“Intimacy was allowed as long as it revealed nothing truthful. Which wasn’t very intimate at all.”

“«“You don’t have to do this now.”
Adam muttered, “I do. Me closing my eyes doesn’t make the monster go away. I’d rather know. And I don’t trust anybody else to spot me. You know what I’m supposed to look like.”»”

“Declan said, "Without your monsters we'd be dead. Are they -"
Ronan shook the water bottle. "They're in here." He handed the bottle to Matthew, who pulled out of his embrace to sit on the bed and study it. "There you go, kid, don't say I never gave you anything."
Declan snatched the bottle away from Matthew. "It's like giving a gun to a toddler. Do you know what these things do?”

“Ronan rummaged in his jacket pocket and removed a package of peanut butter crackers. He unwrapped one as the raven became suddenly attentive.
"Cracker," he said to her.
"Krek," she replied.
"Cracker," he repeated.
"Krek,"
"Cracker,"
"Kreker,"
He gave her one. "The other's if you get Opal.”

“Declan Lynch knew he was boring.
He'd worked very hard to be that way, after all. It was a magic trick he didn't expect any prize from but survival, even as he looked at other lives and imagined them his. He didn't fool himself. He knew what he was allowed to do and to want and to put in his life.
He knew Jordan Hennessy didn't belong.
But still, when he came back from the National Gallery of Art to his empty town house, he closed the door behind him and for a moment he just leaned against it, eyes closed, pretending—no, not even pretending. He just didn't think. For one second of one minute of the day, he didn't run the probabilities and worst-case scenarios and possibilities and consequences. For one second of one minute of the day, he just let himself feel.
There it was:
Happiness.”
