“But that was the hardest thing about death: the unrelenting march of time forward, away from the person you’ve lost.”
― Katy Hays, The Cloisters

[Ann Stilwell]”
― Katy Hays, The Cloisters

“What if our whole life—how we live and die—has already been decided for us? Would you want to know, if a roll of the dice or a deal of the cards could tell you the outcome? Can life be that thin, that disturbing?”
― Katy Hays, The Cloisters
