Kindle Notes & Highlights
Her tears dripped onto my hands, onto the carpet; I watched them fall and had the sudden realization that our roles had reversed. Somehow, I had become the mother and she the daughter.
Fate can bring you together, but it can just as easily tear you apart.
What is it like to live freely, to live a life untethered, without having to be responsible for everyone around you?
The only power he has is the power you are willing to give him, and you’ve given him nothing. Not a scrap.
By the time you’re done with him, he’ll be begging for mercy. Who is he if he can’t control you? Is he even a man anymore? It will seem like a relief when you give him a hand, even if that hand is holding a blade. And when you take everything from him, you can say what these men say about us: He was asking for it. He was begging for it. He must have wanted it, since he didn’t fight back.
