“In Room I was safe and Outside is the scary.”
“When you've got a real boyfriend, everything stupid is okay, and everything scary feels safe.”
“Safe, I decided, didn't leave much room for fun.”
“Outside our small safe place flies mystery.”
“I realised something important: whatever is on the outside can be taken away at any time. Only what is inside you is safe.”
“You want safe? Find a nice puppy you can train to come heel. Love's supposed to be scary. Because if there's no fear, there's no thrill.”
