Kindle Notes & Highlights
Seeing her that way, breathtakingly beautiful, swollen with my children inside her… It unearths this primal possessiveness inside me. I want to scoop her in my arms and carry her to our room. I want to mark her as mine. I want to destroy her like she’s destroyed me. In the best way possible.

This is what it feels like to truly want someone to succeed.
Honestly, it’s not as bad as I might’ve expected. I walk down the hallway, but I don’t bother hurrying anymore. You can’t outrun Death when he has finally come for you. I won’t beg for his mercy, either. I’d much rather meet the Reaper upright and proud.
