“I couldn't help but think history was on repeat.
Here was yet another girl who had fate laid out before her that she never chose, and I knew, when gods were concerned, she could fight that fate all she wanted, but it wouldn't change a damn thing. Her life was on autopilot. And with me involved, that autopilot was set to crash and burn. She didn't need me in her life, and if she knew everything about me, she wouldn't want me there.”

“I didn't even know what it was about her. She wasn't a classic beauty, and gods knew, in the past, that was about all it took to get me off. She wasn't strong, and that was something I admired in anyone. But her beauty was different and she sure as hell wasn't weak.
In a handful of days, she hadn't just gotten under my skin. She had crawled in there, set up camp, and wasn't leaving for a while.
I couldn't remember a time when I'd ever been that affected.”

“What did you wrap around your heart to protect yourself, beautiful girl?” I asked, letting my fingertip trail down from her cheek to her chin. Her eyes cut to mine, and I knew I had her attention. “I see you unwrap it, whatever it is you have around your heart, so I know it’s there. You change when you are with your friends, with Aiden, but as soon as you can, you wrap it back up. I hope it’s not a steel cage, Lucy. I hope you’re being gentle with your heart, taking care of it for me.”

“Sometimes it takes years for your life to change. In some cases a lifetime. You wake up one morning, look around, and suddenly realize that everything has changed. The people you thought were your friends, loved ones... they are long gone. Your life isn’t the same. Time slipped away and you didn’t even notice a thing.
However, sometimes...sometimes it can change right in front of your eyes.
All it takes is the blink of an eye.
One moment you think you can handle anything life throws at you...and the next moment...well, to but it nicely...you’re screwed.”
