Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Yeah. It is. And guess what? She’s brand-new here. She hardly spoke a single word to me, and she saw me. Not as an object, not as a walking, talking sex toy, but as a person. She did what the three people who were always supposed to have my back have never been able to do.”
Sera is the first good thing that’s happened to me since before that nightmare they call a Revelation. I’m not going to let you make her think she’s weak. I’m not going to let you pigeonhole her into some stupid box you think she should be in. I’m not turning my back on her. And when you turn yours on her, when something about her doesn’t meet your ridiculous standards and all of you walk away, you can bet your ass that I’m going to be right there to hold her up and remind her that she’ll live through it and come out stronger.”
They’re my parents. They’re supposed to support me, back me up. Yet all they see when they look at me is that little girl, stuck in a wheelchair, with only days to live if her body won’t stop shutting down.
Does she truly see me as broken? Do they all consider me weak? I’ve always suspected it’s a possibility, but seeing it confirmed is like a knife to the gut. Pain splinters through me, zigzagging like the lines of a spiderweb.
