Kindle Notes & Highlights
Shem yawned. “You would think after a million years or so, He would come up with a better spiel.” He nudged me, grinning. Yahweh looked like He wanted to smite Shem where he stood, but the cat demon just slid his hands into his pockets and smirked. “Go ahead. Smite me, almighty smiter.” Both God and I looked at him in confusion. He sighed. “I wish Lilith was here. She would have gotten the reference,” he grumbled, kicking an invisible pebble into the Soul Sorter. “You know, for someone who claims to be all-seeing, you would think you would have at least seen Bruce Almighty.”
“If you’re looking to trust me, Lilith, then you can trust this: I will never stop trying to force you to love me. I will push and bend you to my will until I’m the only thing you see and the only one you want. One day you will willingly be mine again. Until then, I will take whatever parts of you I can steal because I promised you forever, and forever starts today… whether you’re ready for it or not.”
Freedom only felt like a gift if you knew what it was to be a prisoner.
“It’s also okay to mourn the loss of the person you were before, but you should also be celebrating the birth of this new version of you.” He touched my chin gently, turning my head to look at him. “You’re going to come into your own, and you’re going to see how perfect you are. How perfect you’ve always been.”
