“I promise not to let even the strand of my hair dirty the book. I really just wanted to read.” “...” “M-Madame?” “Then can you wait until I am freed? I shall give you a book of mine. Please cherish it then.” Teary eyed, Billie hugged me. “I promise I will never let the others play with the book. You can trust me, I am a clean freak.” “Clean what?

I asked, even though I knew how weak and injured I was, I wasn't scared of a werewolf. But Dylan was an exceptional fighter and a dangerous one too.

"I had forgotten today was my birthday." I watched her. The woman who had shouldered so many wounds alone, who had risen from so many falls, was now surrounded by her own, surprised that someone thought to celebrate her. That was the real gift.

When we finally lit the candles and sang "Happy Birthday," she closed her eyes and made a wish before blowing them out.

This entire marriage is built on a lie, on deception. How am I supposed to live with that? How am I supposed to wake up every morning next to a man who didn't choose me, who thought he was getting someone else?"
