I lost everyone I loved, I tell him. I wait for him to look at me, and then I add, The day I met you.
Lauren DeStefano
Times like this, when she slips her hand into mine and holds on tight, and our husband becomes just a shadow in the doorway.

Cure is one of the most precious words in the English language. It's a short word. A clean and simple word. But it isn't so easy a thing as it sounds. There are questions like: How will this affect us in ten years? In twenty? What will it do to our children? Our children's children?

Lauren DeStefano
Ah, love. That’s what the world has lost. There’s no more love, only the illusion of it.
Lauren DeStefano
Humans are the absolute worst thing to happen to this planet.
Lauren DeStefano
I start trying to stay unconscious. The problem with this is that no amount of willpower can change the reality.
Lauren DeStefano
I can hear my brother's voice in my head. Your problem is that you're too emotional. But how can I not be emotional, Rowan? How can I not care?
Lauren DeStefano
I stare at her collarbone that's framed with lace, the hollow of her throat, her shoulders that rise with each rise with the weight of her next breath. We're fragile things. Our bones show through our skin. What would any god want with us?
Lauren DeStefano
Once upon a time there were two parents, two children, and a brick house with lilies in the yard. The parents died, the lilies wilted. One child disappeared. Then the other. Pg 225

It is the face of a girl who has seen the world, who realizes that it hates her, and who hates it in return.
Lauren DeStefano
Love is not enough to keep any of us alive.
Lauren DeStefano
A strange thing, words. Once they're said, it's hard to imagine they're untrue.
