“Why didn't I just keep my stupid mouth closed? Why didn't I shake my head and apologize with a hint of tears in my voice and slink off to bed with the memory of the Blue Door with a secret talisman in my pocket? Because I was seven, and stubborn, and didn't yet understand the true cost of stories.” — Alix E. Harrow

Why didn't I just keep my stupid mouth closed? Why didn't I shake my head and apologize with a hint of tears in my voice and slink off to bed with the memory of the Blue Door with a secret talisman in my pocket? Because I was seven, and stubborn, and didn't yet understand the true cost of stories.
