“You're in a fairy tale right now, Tania, but what happens on the morning after happy ever after?”
“Happy-ever-after is a fairy-tale notion, not history. I know of no woman who escaped from Chelmno alive.”
“Not all fairy tales have happily ever afters, some just have afters.”
“In fairy tales there's always one person who is made for one other, and they find each other and live happily ever after. Cal was my person. I couldn't imagine anyone more perfect. Yet what kind of sick fairy tale would it be if he was the one made exactly right for me and I wasn't right for him?”
“The whole world had changed. Only the fairy tales remained the same. "And they lived happily ever after,”
“There was no slipper, nor spinning wheel, nor true love's first kiss. This was not a fairy tale with a happily ever after.”
