Kindle Notes & Highlights
To the living, we owe respect, but to the dead, we owe only the truth. —Voltaire
Pain for a girl he never knew. Pain for a boy he’ll never know. Pain for a past that has haunted me for ten years.
“As soon as this is over, I’m going to find my own goofy grin,”
Every man is guilty of all the good he did not do. —Voltaire

Confucius was never brutally raped, stabbed, and forced to watch his brother suffer even worse. I’m sure his viewpoints might have changed. Besides, he wasn’t a romantic.”
“There’s no such thing as safe, Logan,” she says on a soft breath. “No such thing.”
“I’ve told him more than anyone in years. But he doesn’t push for more than I give. It’s one of the things I love about him.”
Chance is a word void of sense; nothing can exist without a cause. —Voltaire
“I mean, what are the odds of you running into the lead FBI agent on your case? And falling for him? And him falling for you? Your paths were meant to cross, but he wasn’t meant to stop you, or he already would have. Even I, a man of pure science, cannot belittle what you have by labeling it with mere coincidence.

Too many tears have fallen after I swore I’d never let another tear fall. I guess Jake is right about Logan bringing back out my humanity. He can’t stop me from being a monster though.

“I torture and kill men. Being creepy should be a given.”

She never asks for anything, but always gives so much. Yet I see a question in her eyes, and I’m willing to do whatever she wants.
“She left with Jacob Denver. The two of them own a buy, sell, and trade store online. And Kennedy Carlyle now goes by Lana Myers.”
Tears slip free faster, and I take it. I wish it didn’t feel so incredible, but the flesh enjoys it even as the heart shatters beneath it.
I’m too in love to pretend I don’t care. And the heartache is too real not to feel it through every cell of my very existence.
It was the worst part of it all. Being silenced, because no one wanted to hear. Now the one person I’ve opened myself up enough to love is silencing me.
I thought love would rip my heart out. I thought it would set me on fire. Instead, it turned me into ice.
