Kindle Notes & Highlights
Did she not know that Schaffa would love her son as he loved her? He would lay the boy down gently, so gently, in the wire chair.)
Demented.
He’s got two children, one stupid and the other selfish, and three grandkids, all from the stupid one and hopefully not too stupid themselves.
I'm dead.
You pretended to hate him because you were a coward. But you eventually loved him, and he is part of you now, because you have since grown brave.
I’m the one they should fear. I destroy three of them on the first day after I leave you.
One good thing about all this: You’ve got a purpose now. Congratulations.
“So you’ve been off getting into fights all this time,”
