![“I'm a girl who has been tamping down her emotions and keeping them tightly guarded her whole life. And that works really well for me. [...] And now I felt like my shell had a dangerous crack in it. Without much more effort on his part, it would split wide open and my enormous river of emotions…” quote by James Patterson](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/275/james-patterson-171_cracks_i-m-a-girl-who-has-been-tamping-down-her_48205.jpg)
