They won'y hurt me, right?"
"Right," he said.
"You're probably then times more dangerous than fireflies are"
Dangerous. The word made his heart spike.Something told him that was what this girl was---a danger to his fucking sanity.
Life is a struggle, and it would be so easy if it came with an eraser, but it didn't.
J.M. DarhowerTag: life
Some things in life only happen once, the memories of them lasting forever. They’re moments that alter you, turning you into a person you never thought you’d become, but someone you were always destined to be.
J.M. DarhowerYou know what's kind of funny? Well, not funny, but ironic, maybe? She's been here nine months now, and it takes nine months to create life. It's like she's been reborn. And the fact that tomorrow you turn eighteen is just another piece of it. It feels like right now is the start of something, like we're at the beginning and not the finish line."
Dominic started to walk away but paused after a few steps, his brow furrowed. "Actually, I don't think that's what irony is. Haven would probably correct me again and say I was being symbolic.
I'm graduating and she corrected my vocabulary the other day. I said I felt nauseous, and she said the word I wanted was nauseated. Fucked me up, bro. Didn't know there was a difference.
J.M. DarhowerShe's a great cook."
"Yeah," Carmine said. "Probably the Italian in her."

Dominic laughed. "Must be. You know damn well she has Carmine's full-blooded Italian in her all the time."
Carmine's muscles went rigid, and Vincent started coughing as he choked on his drink. Celia snorted, trying to hold back her amusement, but Dominic didn't bother containing himself.
Every "I hate you" that echoed from her chest was followed by an "I love you" from his lips. Every time she begged him to let go, he told her he would be there forever.
J.M. DarhowerYou’re not gonna kill that doctor I just saw, are you?" Carmine asked, the heavy dose of morphine in his system clouding his thoughts. "I know you killed that other one, so I was just wondering."
Corrado said nothing, and Carmine wasn’t sure whether that was good or bad.
"I don’t think you should," he said. "He’s just a doctor."
"Carmine?"
"Yeah?"
"Shut up."
Carmine decided then he should probably shut up.
I can't save the world, Haven, bur I'll save you ... even if it's the last thing I do.
J.M. DarhowerHaven stared at the door once he was gone. “He seems strange.”
“Yeah, I’ve noticed. It’s a bit scary. He’s resolved these days, like he has some fucking grand plan to save us all.”
“Do we need to be saved?”
“Don't we always?
