Quote by Krystal Sutherland

“Retribution felt feeble, nowhere near enough to cover the cost of what had been lost. They were one soul split into two bodies. Often, Zara didn’t know where she ended and Savannah began.”

“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. But this was a different understanding, more complicated and subtle. More literary, Abigail said in his head. 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.”
