" There are moments in life when you know, irrevocably, that you’ve given in, come undone. That you’ve slipped, lost your balance, and fallen over a cliff’s edge, that there’s no climbing back up, there’s no slowing the fall. You never forget those moments. They get burned into the fabric of your soul, imprinted on you, tattooed on your consciousness. "

― Jasinda Wilder , After Forever (The Ever Trilogy, #2)
