Battle Scars Quotes

• No one else noticed, or cared. It was just something they did. Taking other people’s livestock. Other people’s lives. She watched the soldiers, hating them.

• Except even at the start, when we were in that can't-get-enough-of-you-phase, there was like some invisible wall between us.
