That would subvert the narrative. But instead here we are, you saving me, or dying in the process. Dying is a lot more likely.” “Only if you take things at face value,” I said. “I’m not going to eat anything you hand me, drink anything you’ve touched, borrow your comb, or put on any of your rings.

And then I’ll take your body down to the folks in Agricultural and ask them to use you to fertilize an apple tree. And when you’ve grown to a lovely size and started bearing fruit, I will sit underneath you and not eat a single one of your inevitably poisoned apples.” Sloane glanced at me through her hair, and for a moment I actually saw a wisp of a smile on her face. “You’d do that for me?” she asked.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Seanan McGuire" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/seanan-mcguire/but-believe-me-henry-you-re-not-the-first-snow-white-i-ve-seen-and/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/abd/seanan-mcguire-972_bearing-fruit_but-believe-me-henry-you-re-not-the-firs_3195897.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/abd/seanan-mcguire-972_bearing-fruit_but-believe-me-henry-you-re-not-the-firs_3195897.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/abd/seanan-mcguire-972_bearing-fruit_but-believe-me-henry-you-re-not-the-firs_3195897.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“But believe me, Henry.
