" Dinner with Leander and Uncle Addy had been different. We’d eaten in a smaller room, full of light and warmth, laughing together. God, no wonder I’d fallen in love with Leander. He was an Apollo to my Hades: a being of golden light and life, while I was something growing among the shadows of the dead. "
