“What mattered is I was different. The naive girl in me had been bitch-slapped into womanhood. ~Livvie”

“The naïve girl in me had been bitch-slapped into womanhood. I’d been razed by pain, grief, loss and suffering, and honed by lust, rage and an acute awareness of my need to survive.”

“ You don't know what you want Livvie, and what you think you want, you've been brain-washed into wanting”

“I can’t keep you, Livvie. Stop trying to make me.”

“You'll always be Kitten to me...Livvie.”

“For what it's worth Livvie, I never thought of you as a whore. And you are...the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.”

“You don't have to call me Livvie if you don't want to, Caleb. To be honest, it's kinda scaring me. You're scaring me”
