Kindle Notes & Highlights
As with all history, the narrative is dictated by who is telling the story. Keep that in mind as you venture into this world.
Fear was fickle because it was misunderstood.
Maybe happiness wouldn't taste as sweet without the feeling of impending doom that crawled after it. And maybe fear, like all the other seemingly unbidden emotions, was simply a warning; a warning that historically, caused raised hackles and sharpened blades clenched in trembling and unsure hands.

“Where the fuck did you come from, Aheia?” he asked, his curls hanging into her face as he held her face in his hands, forcing their foreheads together. And this time when he used her name, it wasn’t in anger. This time, it was in worship.
“Why were you in my room?” “You weren’t in mine.”
“Because no God could ever bring me to my knees the way you do.”
