The Submission of Alistair Ingram Quotes

“Alistair ran rampant through her mind as she spread spackling onto the wall in her hallway. She longed to feel the safety she felt in his arms. The security of being with someone who accepted you for everything you were and weren’t. Someone who didn’t want to hurt you. She missed him. Terribly.”
― Kelli Maine, The Submission of Alistair Ingram

“She zipped her suitcase. Alistair dressed and left the bedroom. Watching him walk out hurt more than she could stand. Her knees gave out and she landed on her suitcase on her butt. Tears were inevitable. She couldn’t hold them back if she fought with everything inside of her. It was all too much. This kind of pain hurt a thousand times more than the night she suffered the beating that left scars on her back. This kind of pain was what she’d been avoiding her entire life. The kind that left you open, raw and bleeding from the inside.”
