I was furious afterward, the kind of fury you reserve for people who accuse you of something that’s absolutely true.

I didn’t know what falling in love felt like, I’d never done it before. I discovered you recognize it easily when it arrives.

Something I’ve learned is people do much worse things to you in the name of love, than they ever do as your enemy.”

And whichever choice you make, it wasn’t really a choice at all.
