“Do you live around here?’ Mick put on all the charm. It seemed to be working, because she hadn’t noticed him checking the clock behind her. She was in a right state, but it had been a while since he had been in the company of a woman and he didn’t want her to pass out before he had the chance to test her out.”

Noelle’s Quotes

“Life. It's like a snow globe. From the outside it can look pretty, idyllic, calm. But in reality it's a sham. Look closely inside and you'll see everything is fake, plastic, very small and very, very meaningless. And then every now and again some bastard comes along and shakes the whole lot up.”
― Keith Nixon, The Fix
