"But I can't help but wonder what lying in his arms would be like," she told the sky. "I can't help but imagine being close enough to feel his breath on mine and his skin on my skin."

"He's going to kill me, you know," she whispered to the moon, "He's going to commit murder, and the worst part is he won't even know it."
