A Letter to the Luminous Deep (The Sunken Archive, #1)

by Sylvie Cathrall

What have I done to deserve this emotional honesty?

My wife, on the other hand, is collected where I am anxious, fluid where I am obstinate, and sceptical where I am gullible. She has taught me – without even realising it! – how I might think more carefully, act more thoughtfully, and love more deeply.

it pains me to see you suffering. I never know exactly what to say – I cannot use logic to argue with that part of your brain that tells you these things, just as you cannot.

“What a task it is to prove the existence of something you clearly witnessed with your own eyes,”

The sounds that humans create while assembled in great numbers, Sophy, are absolutely abominable.

You certainly deserve to experience emotions from time to time. (Pesky things, aren’t they?)
