“This is the moment I realize that our traumas never really go away. They live inside of us, in the deepest darkest pits of our own tiny hells. Cocked and loaded, waiting for someone to come along and pull the trigger.”

A. Zavarelli,
Crow
“The thing about butterflies, Mr. Crow, is that they need to be admired from afar.” ― A. Zavarelli, Crow
“I never realized how empty my life had really become until I had him in it. He did that to me. He said I wrecked him, but he completely destroyed me. Everything was fine when I was alone. When I didn’t have to feel or think or care about someone else. Sure I was sad and broken, but I was okay. Now, I’m anything but.” ― A. Zavarelli, Crow
“Nobody has ever looked at me the way he’s looking at me at this moment. Like I’m his possession. Like if anyone else were to touch me, he’d break both their legs and an arm for good measure.” ― A. Zavarelli, Crow
“Damaged souls have their own beauty. A dark, terrifying beauty. The same type of beauty I recognize in Ronan.” ― A. Zavarelli, Reaper
“His heart is the rhythm, mine is the echo.” ― A. Zavarelli, Echo
“I wanted to break you. I never expected you to like it.” ― A. Zavarelli, Echo
“If an act of evil is to stain my soul, it will be for one of my own.” ― A. Zavarelli, Crow
“Come here." He gestures towards the door. Would you get a load of this character?Come here, he says, like I'll just do it.I do.” ― A. Zavarelli, Crow
“You can’t change a leopard’s spots. Broken people can only fix themselves.” ― A. Zavarelli, Crow
“She was the most beautiful creature he’d ever laid eyes upon, and for a moment, he wished he could keep her.” ― A. Zavarelli, King's Kitten
“I thought I told you I don’t play by the rules,” I argue. “Ye’re mistaken,” he says. “Ye just walked into my world unbidden. So you will play by the rules, butterfly. You’ll be playing by all my rules.” ― A. Zavarelli, Crow
“Fancy that, do ye?” “Va va voom,” I say in answer. “Any chance you’ll let me drive?” He spins the keys around his fingers. “Not even if I was dying.” ― A. Zavarelli, Crow
“Nobody else gets to see you like that,” he declares. “Ye're claimed.” His words douse me in gasoline. His eyes light the match. And when he grinds himself against me, all that's left to do is burn for him.” ― A. Zavarelli, Reaper
“He kissed my tears away and whispered sweet words into my ears. Words that he was too afraid to say out loud. He told me I was beautiful. That I was perfect in every way. And that, unconditionally, I was his.” ― A. Zavarelli, Echo
“A smart woman would have walked away then. She would have lit a match and set fire to the entire clusterfuck that was this situation. But I was never a smart woman, and if you didn’t believe me, all you had to do was ask my mother.” ― A. Zavarelli, Echo
“The waiter brings our food and we eat in silence. It’s all so very… date like. If I were on a date with a serial killer who was sizing me up like his prey, but whatever.” ― A. Zavarelli, Crow
“Mine?” he laughs cruelly as he reaches for the hem of my dress and rips it with his bare hands. “I don’t believe I’ve had the pleasure yet.” ― A. Zavarelli, Crow
“I needed to channel the darkness that ran through my veins and embrace it. To play this game better than this man ever could have predicted. After all, I’d only been with him twice, and already I could see his weakness. His weakness was me.” ― A. Zavarelli, Echo
