Image
My body was a machine, plain and simple. I worked it to stay strong I fed it to keep it running.
Ann Aguirre
Image
I shake my head, but I can’t change this. I can only bear the scars, as I have always done, as I ever do.
Ann Aguirre
Image
Sometimes when you meet someone, there’s a click. I don’t believe in love at first sight but I believe in that click. Recognition.
Ann Aguirre
Image
Right now, I wish I’d stayed because I want you at my side. That sounds pretty selfish, but I don’t mean it that way. You just never needed me that way I said it to you once as I was leaving—that you love me, but you don’t need me. You don’t lean. But I admire that about you, and I could use some of your strength right now.

Yet sometimes being a friend meant letting people do things that hurt, like putting distance between you, just because it made them happy.

While sight may deceive you, touch rarely does.

A huntress never stabbed anything she didn't want to.
Ann Aguirre
Image
But wishes were empty thoughts, cast down a dark hole. They didn't come true unless you worked for them. I'd learned that about the world, if nothing more.
Ann Aguirre
Image
I'm not sick, Deuce. You don't know your own charm. My charm? I hadn't been aware I had any. It must be the dress, I thought.
Ann Aguirre
Image
I found it curious that people kept animals for companionship and not food. When I'd asked Mama Oaks when she planned to cook the fat creature that slept in a basket in the kitchen, her eyes almost popped out of her head. Since then, she'd kept her pet away from me, like she suspected I meant to turn it into stew. Clearly, I had a lot to learn.

No matter how interminable something feels, there is always, always an ending. Sometimes that's good, and sometimes it's bad sometimes it's a matter of indifference, and sometimes it's heartbreaking, and your life is never the same thereafter.
Ann Aguirre
Image
I couldn't help what I'd done before I learned it was wrong. I could only do better in the future.
Ann Aguirre
Image
I so enjoy it when people assume I'm stupid. Not that, just very focused on killing.
Ann Aguirre
Image
Is that love? It seems like a pale word, too easily tossed about by people who don’t know the meaning of it, who twist it for their own ends. I’m afraid of it now, right up there with clowns, close spaces, and open flames.
Ann Aguirre
Image
If I ever win you, he said, anger bright in his pale eyes, it will be because you want me more. Not because he's gone. I'm nobody's second best.
Ann Aguirre
Image
Sometimes it felt as if all happiness came at a price. You could never, ever, have perfection. Life gave you beauty so you could bear the pain.
Ann Aguirre
Image
He would bear scars because of me, as I carried them for him.

Image
They say funerals are not for the dead but for the living. Those rites are what permit you to move on, so if you don't deal with the remains, you can never deal with the memories. That might be true we may have walked in their dust down on Venice Minor, but it's not the same as a proper good-bye.

I’m as forgiving as the wall you hit at two hundred kilometers an hour.

A good huntress respected her partners instincts, even if he was socially ignorant.
