I should have gone with him," Rosette said, pulling her jacket tightly over her shoulders.‎‎‎I raked my hands through my hair, leaning my weight against the wall.‎‎‎‎"Don't you think I know that?"

"that it burns me?"‎‎‎— Rosette, I would walk through melted hot coals barefoot—, I would burn the edges of the earth if that’s what it takes to get Victoria back.‎‎‎" But we gotta be steps ahead. Eugene is not going to hurt her—not because he won't, but because he can't."‎‎‎Rosette chuckled dryly. "And why would you say that?
