"It was evenings like that when beneath dim light and relaxing in a sultry bath that she missed him the most. A flicker of candlelight, wind breathing snow against the window and the soothing scent of creme caramel " all were a comfort to her as she closed her eyes, summoned memories and many a tender thought. She didn't feel deserving of the devotion bestowed upon her, but she had finally learned to accept its wondrous gift, knowing that love was the source of existence and its only end."

"Power, a paycheck and control do sick things to those who have the illusion of possessing it."
"You will know who the enemy is intimidated by because they're the ones he targets and keeps beating down."
"The only time she has anything resembling a life is when she sleeps because when she sleeps she can dream."
