“Going against everything her heart was telling her to do, she took a step back again, creating the distance he clearly wanted. She had to stay resolute. It was less painful this way. Letting him go had to be less painful. And she had to do it while she still had the conviction. She was used to facing things alone and this was no different. She didn’t need him. She needed anything but him if she was going to get her life back on track. The last thing she needed was a broken heart. If any more threads that held it together were cut, she wasn’t sure it would ever repair again. And she knew Kane was more than capable of being the one to ruin her.”
― Lindsay J. Pryor, Blood Shadows

“I hate the moments between
meeting someone and leaving
someone

there’s this brief feeling of trust
before the paranoia that seeps in

once you begin to realize that
they’re just like everyone else
you’ve met before

different person
same bullshit”
― R.H. Sin, Whiskey Words & a Shovel II
