“Lulled by his conversation, I let myself believe I had fooled him at the very moment he was fooling me. He was as deceptive as the rest of his family. More, maybe. He never let down his guard with me, not once. Too late, I understand what's terrifying about his charm. He seems entirely open when he is unknowable. Every smile is painted on, a mask.” — Holly Black
Lulled by his conversation, I let myself believe I had fooled him at the very moment he was fooling me.
He was as deceptive as the rest of his family. More, maybe.
He never let down his guard with me, not once.
Too late, I understand what's terrifying about his charm. He seems entirely open when he is unknowable. Every smile is painted on, a mask.
