Kindle Notes & Highlights
I’ve wondered before how much I could take. When it would all become too much. Too heavy, too lonely, too sad. I wonder now if that’s what’s happened—if my mind has fled from a body finally too battered and overworked to house it safely.
Exhaustion is the enemy of progress.
Beau gives me a tender half-smile, and I can feel the raised crease of it like the sweetest kiss. “I’ve been waiting my whole life to fall in love with you.”
“You saved Dominic and Beaumont. You navigated a firefight to bring Dominic weapons. Within a week of being captured, you gained a modicum of trust from your captors, put yourself in a position to take action, and you had the courage to follow through on it despite the incredible risk. You managed to free both yourself and Heather.” Jasper raises his brows. “And that’s not to mention years of survival on your own. All of those actions require resilience and bravery—and also the extremely rare ability to think and act intelligently when your life is in danger.”
Just a little example here of Eden consistently NOT being stupid. Honestly I think some of the reviewers read a different book. Or didn't bother with accuracy in their reviews. Look babe, just admit you didn't read it it's okay.
Eden started me wondering if I could ever be worth more than my shitty past. The civilians have me thinking that maybe I am worth more. They trust me. Respect me. I help them out, and I actually get some god damned gratitude.
oh lol it's some of that character development some reviewers said was lacking
