No Two Persons Quotes

“And it was then, looking down at the town, that William truly understood that he would never hear a new story, a new secret, from Abigail. He’d known the physical reality of that, of course.

Which only proved the point – that Abigail’s words now could only ever be things she had said, not things a future Abigail, altered by events that had not yet happened, would say.”

As if she could ever separate the story from the conversations with the author, the dinner she was eating when she read it for the first time, the negotiation of the deal, the first sight of the cover, the reviews, the book events, the faces in the audience. The thought, I made this happen, even if none of the words were ever hers.”
