Kindle Notes & Highlights
“You’re not the Cortez I take orders from. Bark at me again, and I’ll be the one you need protecting from.”
“You can hate me, treat me like a dog, tell me to be a good boy, but where you go, I go. And when shit hits the fan, you’ll be glad I'm in here and not out there.”
Time doesn’t heal shit.
“Because when my hands are wrapped around your throat, I’m the one you’ll be praying to.”
“I think grieving is always fucked up. There’s no right way to do it, but not because there’s no wrong way either. There’s nothing right or just or healing about grief. It’s a wound that never heals.”
“Do you know the Occam’s razor principle?” “Yeah, the simplest answer is usually the right one.”

“If you ever make me that hard again while torturing someone, I’m fucking you next to their corpse.”

“Wake up, please, I need you. If you wake up for me I swear I’ll fucking marry you. I’ll take you skydiving. I’ll love you with every breath I breathe, every second of my life. Please, just come back to me—”
I tuck my gun away and pull her into me. “I’ll always be your monster, you only have to be my light.”
