“Every piece, every memory, every minute, every inch. This isn't going to be some casual dalliance. This isn't going to be temporary. I want you soul, mind, and body. I want your trust and your thoughts. I want your past, your present, your future. So make very certain that you want me for the right reasons. Be certain that you're choosing this, because once you do, there's no turning back." - Slade Ravinger

"I keep blaming you for things so that I can push you away. But you've done nothing wrong. Not really. You've challenged me and pissed me off and lied, but it's nothing I didn't do right back. You're not the villain in my story"
"I am," he says without remorse, his sharp jaw tight with tension. "But I'll be the villain for you. Not to you."

I’m noticing alot of referencing to her being some sort of bird. The whole concept of the cage and her being a “Goldfinch” all surround that idea. I think it’s a bit more predictable than I like. Slade tells her “don’t fall” but “fly” when she’s taken to her edge or “tipped over”.
