One Lie Quotes

“I just want to be happy,’ she said. She didn’t look at Sam because she couldn’t. ‘I just want to wake up one day and feel really happy.’ Sam looked at her. He could see the pain wrapped around her eyes, and he could sense it in her voice. He didn’t know her whole story. He barely knew her at all, really. But he knew that given the chance, he wanted to make her happy. She had a vulnerability about her. She had obviously spent time building a wall around herself for protection, but he could see that behind it, she was just scared and unhappy. Like so many people, they appeared one way and when you got to know them you realised they were something else entirely.”
