“If you're still hungry, I have some apples for dessert." She held one out that was a mix of reds and greens with a hint of gold. "These are Red Fire apples." Henri took a bite. "That's heaven. What did you call it? A Red Fire? I've never had anything like it." "They're only grown in our kingdom. My mother was the one who created the hybrid," Snow said proudly. She used to beg her parents to tell her the story of their courtship over and over. She could picture her mother laughing. Snow, there must be something else you want to talk about! "It's what you get when you cross red apple seeds with some pears and green apple seeds," Snow told Henri now. "She came up with it at the apple orchard she helped tend when she was my age. My father loved them and had them planted all over the countryside." Snow picked up one and stared at it. "It was the Red Fire apple that endeared my mother to my father, actually. He adored her apples." Henri smirked. "So it was love at first bite?" She laughed. "I suppose so!”

“I began to understand that I could not depend on them to provide me with affirmation and approval. To improve my relationship with my parents, I needed to change. I needed to give myself permission and approval to do what I wanted to do. If my parents couldn’t love me the way I wanted them to love me, then I would have to learn how to love myself.”

“Enfant, on idéalise ses parents. On pense qu’ils sont parfaits car ils sont notre seul repère, le mètre avec lequel on mesure le monde et nous-mêmes. Adolescent, on ne les supporte plus, parce qu’on se rend soudain compte que non seulement ils ne sont pas parfaits, mais qu’ils sont peut-être encore plus à la ramasse que nous. Et puis, il y a cet instant où on prend conscience que ce ne sont ni des superhéros ni des méchants. Ce sont ni plus ni moins des humains. La question qui se pose alors, c’est de savoir si on peut leur pardonner de n’être, en fin de compte, rien de plus que des hommes. — Kelton”
