“What had seemed like love was betrayal”
“Betrayal is the deepest wound. Betrayal is what remains of love, when love has gone.”
“Once love had seemed like magic. Now it seemed like tricks.”
“Pride had kept her running when love had betrayed her.”
“She was like a mother to me...and I betrayed as a daughter will betray her mother and yet, never stop loving her.”
“And then there was Lydia.Lydia who had hurtled into his life – into their lives – with hair like fire, eyes like amethysts and a fuck-me scent so palpable that he’d betrayed the only woman he’d ever loved.”
