“A devil doesn’t show his hand. He plays his cards until the winning hand is revealed. I think she may be my favorite playing card yet. And I plan to play every move possible when it comes to her.”

“I want to laugh because, really, it is funny. And Kalilah can be many things as I am soon coming to realize, but taking orders from men is not in her vocabulary. And when she is a smart ass, when it’s not directed at me, it’s quite amusing.”
― T.L. Smith, Moments of Madness
