“People you loved could be gone in a breath. So why didn't knowing that make it any easier to be vulnerable?

'And you liked her for that?' Evangeline asked.
'I'd just threatened to kill her.' He said it as if they'd been flirting.

'What am I supposed to do with this?'
'You might want to use it, Little Fox.' The corner of his mouth twitched as he slowly slid his pale hands through the bars of the gate and broke the lock in half. It could have been a twig, a piece of paper, or her.”
