Fear Quote by M L Stedman - The Light Between Oceans
““Even though everything in the past twenty-four hours had been leading to this, even though it was a fear Isabel had harboured from the day she had first laid eyes on Lucy as a baby, still, the moment ripped through her. 'Please!’ she pleaded through tears. ‘Have some pity!’ Her voice reverberated around the bare walls. ‘Don’t take my baby away!’ As the girl was wrenched from her screaming, Isabel fainted onto the stone floor with a resounding crack.””
