“And maybe Violet would again be easy to abandon, and maybe she'd end up with yet more rings on her hand to remind her of it. [Maude] absently touched her breastbone, as if aware of the locket's absence. Better thumb rings, surely, than jewelry worn as a reminder that everyday you ached and loved and settled for less than what you wanted.” — Freya Marske

[Maude] absently touched her breastbone, as if aware of the locket's absence.
Better thumb rings, surely, than jewelry worn as a reminder that everyday you ached and loved and settled for less than what you wanted.
