“I was scared of you. Being around you, it was like—you were everything I wasn’t supposed to want. You’re—no one told me about you.

“The whole thing had taken nine days. Nine days to be told that the daughter she had been best friends with, the daughter she had looked after and laughed with and loved, had been someone she hadn’t really known. That she’d been someone filled with a sadness so great it had taken her last breath and yet Kate had somehow missed all the signs.”
― Kimberly McCreight, Reconstructing Amelia

“Whenever i see new stories about children who were killed by their own parents i think ... but how could it be? They cared enough to give this kid a name, They had a moment at least one moment when they sifted through all the possibilities and picked one specific name for their child , decided what will they call their baby .
How could you kill something you cared enough to name?”
― Gillian Flynn, Dark Places
