He had been bored, thats all, bored like most people. Hence he had made himself out of whole cloth a life full of complications and drama. Something must happen and that explains most human commitments. Something must happen even loveless slavery, even war or death.”

For people like me and Echo, our souls contained more scar tissue than life.”
― Katie McGarry, Pushing the Limits

“He waited day after day, saying that it was perfectly absurd to expect, yet expecting.”
