“I want everything you have to give, Natalie, for as long as you want to give it to me.”
I’d rather have the ugly truth than a beautiful lie.
“So either don’t tell me your secrets or don’t make me fall in love with you. Because once I fall in, even death can’t make me fall out.”
That no matter how powerful or great a man was, death would eventually find him.”
They call him Reaper because of all the terrible things he’s done, but he’s still a man just like any other. He grieves. He bleeds. He’s made of flesh and bone. And he’s been alone since he was a boy, with nothing to sustain him but terrible memories.
Violence is his calling card, bloodshed his stock-in-trade, but the real beating heart of this man is revenge.

I’m in love with a man who can’t have children. Who can’t live with me. Who can’t marry me.
His voice comes very soft. “Thank you.” “For what?” “Giving me something to live for.”
It’s like the lights go out when you walk out of the house. Like my lungs only work when you’re with me. I’m … kind of lost, actually.
