“Have you learned anything from this, girl?” “Yes, Your Excellency” she said, tipping her chin up. “I learned that I no longer fear the dark.”
“Strong women will always bear the dangerous burden of a weaker man’s pride.”
“Don’t worry, Lustina. Your secret is safe with me.”

“Yes. That is its nature. Between its adorable appearance and it’s alluring song, it makes for the perfect predator.” He ran his thumb across his bottom lip, eyeing me up and down. “In some ways, it reminds me of you.”
He rolled his shoulders back, and his hand curled into a fist. “Who is he?”
