“ True love was beyond the bars, but a facsimile of it came with no suffering at all. ”
As you have seen the treachery of love because of me, I have seen my cruelty because of you. But you learned mercy from me, and from you I learned resilience. As you came to understand me enough to know the value I placed on selfless love, I understand your nature better.
~ D. Morgenstern
Without hope, there is no despair. There is only meaningless suffering.
That alone would be Eddie's triumph in all this, that she had taught the kelpie suffering.
Was this new self awareness a gift or a curse?
