“Fly free, Little bird.” I didn’t hide my tears. I was proud of her. “Thank you for loving me, for being my sanctuary.”
Adam A. Fox, A Sinful Sacrifice
“Really? You’re actually trying to lie to me now? Me…your mother who programmed you from conception. You think I don’t know my own magnificent creation?”
Adam A. Fox, A Sinful Sacrifice
“You are culpable in this too, Tracy. You raised your daughter without morals or an understanding of accountability. You failed her with your spoiling and blaming, and especially the lack of hard truths. She needs to face the consequences of her actions, or she won’t learn.” Mom seemed to be venting the last decade of frustration in one hit. “Raising a child needs care. It can’t all be wonderful moments; discipline and guidance are a priority right next to love and care. Brie appears to have completely missed the lessons in life regarding other people; I’d hate to imagine her understanding of her own safety. Everyone has the right to be safe in their own skin without the threat of force being used against them. God knows we’ve been trying to teach our daughters these things, but where in this did any of us include the rights of men as part of that? Gender aside, violating another person is a crime in need of punishment, and you should be working to see her take responsibility for what she’s done.”
Adam A. Fox, A Sinful Sacrifice
“You’re the worst kind of bitch, Brie. You make it harder for those who have genuinely been wronged to get help. Scum like you is the reason why people are scared to speak up. For your sake, I truly hope your game of cry-wolf doesn’t come back to bite you one day.”
Adam A. Fox, A Sinful Sacrifice
“I kissed her softly, holding her close to me in the bright room as if none of my scars existed. That was new and uncomfortable, but if she could be brave, so could I.”
Adam A. Fox, A Sinful Sacrifice
“In my arms, you’re safe.”
Adam A. Fox, A Sinful Sacrifice
“One for the past – what we were apart.” Moving to the middle cord, he gently smoothed it and attached a silver ring. “One for the present – what we are now.” His touch lingered on the topmost cord, and I saw the hesitation in his gaze. I wrapped my hands around his wrists and squeezed to reassure him. “One for the future – what we will become.”
Adam A. Fox, A Sinful Sacrifice
“Seeing a real victim-survivor behave in such a way is a rarity.
Most of us can't face the attention or the judgement, the shame is often so big it swallows our innocence, and we don't have a tangible vision of justice any more, let alone the will to trust others with a vulnerability so crippling it distorts our worldview. I don't know if Brie ever was a victim, and it's not my place to assume, but I knew for certain that this was a pack of lies, painfully damaging to those of us who had experienced it for real. With this display, she affected the beliefs of others, harming the fight to be heard.”
Adam A. Fox, A Sinful Sacrifice
“Freedom. No one can ever really be free, especially from the horrors within them. Living my whole life in fear helped me understand that. It showed me that freedom is subjective. It taught me to compartmentalise and seek out the unrestricted parts of my mind, so when I lived in those moments of excessive fear, I had something minuscule to cling to, a tiny fraction of light to keep the darkness away.”
Adam A. Fox, A Sinful Sacrifice
“Charlie perched on the chair next to me. “He already saw the woman you were, the one too scared to be herself, and in his endeavours to show you as you are in his eyes, a little bird stole his heart completely.”

“She held out her hand, and for the first time... I took it.
On Christmas morning, I placed the damaged bell with the unique tone at the very top of the artificial tree in Gara's home with a sneaky Gota watching on.
That was the day I became a Garrick”
Adam A. Fox, A Sinful Sacrifice
“Sitting cross-legged on the floor beside my window, I stared at the croissant on a napkin before me. I was torn with this choice, a simple one to most, but everything I was given by strangers seemed to mean far more to me than anything else.
It represented more than a kind gesture; it proved they could see me. Maybe it was due to pity, or it was just how they were to everyone, but the gesture meant so much I was scared to make it vanish by eating it.”
Adam A. Fox, A Sinful Sacrifice
“Safeword - facilitating instant distinctions when time is short, and risks are high.
You put everything you are into that collection of letters. You give your vulnerability and control; you pledge your life to that one sound. Capable of wielding such power over you, there is a heaviness that comes with selecting something,g which you consider a vital connection to your existence.
of course, that wasn't true for all, but for us, it was special.”
Adam A. Fox, A Sinful Sacrifice
“Being understood and accepted like that…it made me so happy, Mom.”
Adam A. Fox, A Sinful Sacrifice
“Your Honour. He’s a good man, inclusive and generous. He does what he can to keep others from harm and help people meet their personal goals. I brought my friend to meet a man I care about, and she took advantage of that proxy trust only given due to my friendship with her. I’m to blame for bringing her into his life and putting a good man at risk. He’s been through enough.”
Adam A. Fox, A Sinful Sacrifice
“I love it,” I told her. “I love you.” Forever, regardless of what will come, no one can stop me loving you.”

“Whoa, momma! Get off my girl’s man and give me a ride home before he smacks you out cold, and I have to pay for my own cab!” Ferd snatched his coat and gave me a hug. “Take care, sweety. I’ll see you Wednesday.” “Do you mind?” Charlie huffed at Ferd’s insistent shoving. “I’m not driving.” “No, I don’t mind. I’m hijacking your cab, and you’re paying!” Ferd waved at us, pushing Charlie through the door. “See you later, you beautiful bitches. Love ya!”
Adam A. Fox, A Sinful Sacrifice
“A little of an over-exaggeration, don’t you think?” He was clearly as unnerved by her outburst as me. “But I missed so much. Just let me be dramatic for once.” “You’re dramatic ninety-nine per cent of the time,” Sin told her when he returned. “And you took the consequences for your bullshit. Behave yourself, woman!”
Adam A. Fox, A Sinful Sacrifice
“You cleanse my soul,” I whispered in her ear. “You are my hope.”

“I don’t know why you want that when you have the real thing to look at…touch…lick. OW!” Ferd yelped when I cuffed him around the ear.”
Adam A. Fox, A Sinful Sacrifice
“Oh, hell no!” Ferd clapped to get our attention. “You’ve been drinking…without me!”
Adam A. Fox, A Sinful Sacrifice
“Living in fear of every hiccup in life won’t earn me experience. I’ll end up ignorant and blinkered. You helped me to reorganise my brain, and now I can clearly see what I have and which paths are available. You don’t have to coddle me, Sin. I want to make those choices, and I’m no longer scared to get it wrong because you taught me that every experience, good or bad, makes us who we are.”

“She was like a mother to me, Jae. After everything I put her through, I wanted her to see she was right and that her struggles with me weren’t wasted.” His breath shuddered. “She revived my heart, gave me unconditional love, and promised that one day I would learn to accept it. I was excited to show her I found someone who could love me, one who showed me how to love in return.”
Adam A. Fox, A Sinful Sacrifice
“You don’t owe me an explanation, Sin. Grieving is different for everyone. You’re allowed to mourn however you need.” I lay my hand on his arm. “If you want to talk about her, I’ll listen.”

“I know I’m difficult. I really don’t know how GiGi endured me for so long. She always managed to find a way to incorporate my quirks into our lives without making it seem abnormal.”
Adam A. Fox, A Sinful Sacrifice
“I can’t stop caring, Sin. I wouldn’t be normal if I wasn’t curious, and that’s the same for anyone who cares for you.” She sat up, all wet and flushed with beautiful marks. “Being open is important, but that is your choice. I won’t push, but you must understand how hard it is to ignore.” “Which is why I hide it.” I sat up and pressed a kiss to her jaw. “I’m trying, Little Bird. Only for you.” “Not for me, Sin. Do it for you if that’s what feels right; it can’t stop me loving you.”
Adam A. Fox, A Sinful Sacrifice

“Make me, ya big moody bitch.” I dropped everything I held in my arms and narrowed my eyes. “Want to try that again?” “You hard of hearing, old man?” she growled. “Make. Me. You. Big. Moody. Bitch!”
Adam A. Fox, A Sinful Sacrifice
