Kindle Notes & Highlights
“The way you dress, the way you hang your head? I think perhaps you are hiding,” she said quietly. “But in this cape?” Bea looked up to meet her eye. “In this cape, what?” Jeanne’s lips curled at the corners, the barest hint of a grin. “You will be someone who everyone must see.”
“You can live a long life never being hurt—and never quite being happy. If that’s what you want.”
To have been that hurt, to feel that afraid, and to know that the only way you can be really, fully happy is to risk going through it all again? It’s a terrifying choice to make. But if you want to let someone be that close to you, it’s the only way.”
Everyone wanted so many things from her—to believe in herself and see her own true beauty, but not to be conceited, to know her place. Be more than your looks, but never speak out of turn. Don’t be defined by love, but remember, you’re nothing without it. Be a princess. Find your prince. You don’t need a man to complete you. Stand on your own two feet.
