Kindle Notes & Highlights
Too many people have smiles that don’t mean what a smile is supposed to mean. Their smiles are often cruel and mocking, like how a bully’s grin is the same as a fist. Worse are the confused and sad smiles from adults.
Despite everything, she hopes Leonard will show himself to be a good person, the person she thought he was when they were out in the front yard together.

The floor is still slick with blood; it’ll never be clean again. Previously invisible gouges in the wood are angry slashes, scars that won’t heal.
Having seen what he has seen and felt what he has felt, Leonard puts his faith in the soothing power of having no choice.
I tell you, Andrew and Eric and Leonard, I don’t believe in this kind of devil, either, or in this kind of universe. I’m sure all of them will be disappointed to hear it.
