“I knew that whatever evil they were capable of, whatever carelessness, they were just as capable of kindness, and for that reason alone I would defend them until I was no more than foam on the sea.”

“A little boy who loved the sea, and a little mermaid who loved him so much she risked everything to save his country.”

“Screw all the rules. Screw everything that makes sense. Dez, I want to be flawed with you.”
― Auryn Hadley, Flawed

“That was why he and Dez were different. They knew the rules were a lie. He was scared to be alone; she was scared to be with people. He felt like he'd fade away if he wasn't touched; she felt like she'd be smothered out of existence if she was. He'd wanted so badly to die and make all the pain end; she still did. Everyone knew pain, but some lived closer to it than others.”
