Quote(s)

1.
It seemed to Jon that since the passing
of his father five years earlier, Marry-Anne had become an even darker person,
never stopping to weigh the impact of her “advice” before she spoke. 2.
Being the introvert that he was, Jon
had a hard time with the holidays. Christmas especially, he found it unnecessary
and highly commercial. People came out of the woodwork, folks he hadn’t seen
or heard from since the previous year and nine times out of ten, they asked
for something. It was time to dole out donations or offer his presence at a
soup kitchen. It wasn’t that Jon was particularly opposed to doing any of
those things; it was simply that he did not understand why Christmas time
seemed to be the only time when people felt the urge to help their fellow
man. 3.
You’re settling out of loneliness. 4.
… the cynic in Jon reminded himself
that anyone could portray themselves any way they pleased online. 5.
I must remember that my name is Marika
now, she thought? 6.
Once in Connecticut, she would flee to
New York where she could disappear into the crowd and hope that her past
would remain a distant, haunting previous life. 7.
She had slowly tried to make herself
useful, cooking his meals and doing his laundry but as she looked about his
shabby apartment, she realized that the condo did not lack cleanliness. It required
warm to become a home. 8.
She tried to ignore the little whisper
in her mind, the one warning her that she was still a married woman. 9.
Anyone who won over her daughter was
okay in Tristan’s books. 10.
If he’s wrong, sending the man on the
other end of the phone on a wild goose chase was as good as signing his own
death warrant. 11.
I hope you find her, Jon. You deserve
to be happy for once. And by the way, I’m glad you finally punched Chris. I’ve
been wanting to do that for years. The way he talks to you and Tristan pisses
me off. 12.
Tough circumstances breed resilient, malleable,
seasoned people and Alina was all of those things. |

Reading Experience
|
This story can be read if you don’t think
logically. There are so many questions I have in mind. “HUH?” are raised
constantly while reading this story. Other than that, it’s kind of refreshing
to read something related to mafia besides a normal high school love story. |
Question(s)
|
1.
How Marika go up to airplane without
any documentation? 2.
How Marika married Jon without any documentation? 3.
Why is Jon not being punished for
stealing a car? |
