Status Updates From My Dearest Enemy: A Novel

a little palette cleanser between horrific and horrifically sad books :,)

“She’d chained herself to a dead woman’s grievances and made a crusade of her mother’s pain. There was no room in her heart for him. He’d never hold the place of importance in her life that she’d come to hold in his.”

It’s unfair to ask or have hope that someone would share the same amount of love that you hold for them , cz it comes out as selfishness. But the way he thinks of her is just 😔💔

“You’ve never had a child taken from you, as good as murdered—no, worse than murdered! My mother died not even knowing if her children were still alive. I saw what it did to her. I heard her at night, torturing herself with questions she could never answer.”

But were YOU loved lily , it sad cz HE cares and knows she is blind about it
Dame it I LOVE confrontation but this one hurttttsss 😭😭

“Damn it, Lily. Can’t you see what you’re doing here?” he asked. “You’ve adopted my family, mine, as well as these suffragists, these servants, all these people who want something from you, whose fealty you secure with jobs and sanctuary and bribes. Fealty isn’t love, Lily. These people aren’t your family.”
“They are.”
“No.” He shook his head

Okay I take it back stop it hurts 😭💔

“Family, Lil?” He leaned far over the desk, his lips curling in derision. “You wish to speak about families? Why not? We’ll be rather like the blind men describing an elephant, won’t we?”

Aaaaaaaaaa don’t stop please I want this to never end ☆*:.｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆

“Why don’t you go to bed?”
“Why don’t you?” Francesca rejoined absently.
Lily rose. “Because I’ve ledgers to balance and bills to pay and numbers to juggle.”
“And I’ve a past to balance and debts to repay and memories to juggle.” ”

I want more Fran and lily 😔🩷

“like to think she is one of those who can find … Eden.”

Well now I feel bad for Fran 😔

“an account of 50 pounds for a hunting jacket. Pray, sir, satisfy my curiosity. Could you not hunt in, say, a simple jacket? Or would the fox take exception?”

And just like that she won my heart 🙂‍↕️🩷

"Bernard took off across the field, his long legs and flapping coat conspiring to give him the appearance of a giant stork attacking a mollusk."
