Mind Quote by Kristel Thornell
““He had himself in hand for now, but a lesson of a period such as the one he'd lived through was that control is an illusion. Once everything has gone see-through on you, it can again. You know that perfectly well. If only your head were to be tilted once more in that way... He hadn't been saved so much as granted a reprieve.””
