Lesser evils...Covenant series, book six...
"Hanna points at the open door, “You get that we’re all stuck here together, right?”
“Please don’t talk to me like I’m a child. This has been a long time coming, there’s always the other side of the storm with him and me, and the next storm to come after that.”
"Hanna leans on the wall at the edge of the hallway and looks out at the false office and the Cuban night beyond. “This is the last storm. Please just tell me he’s wrong, tell me you didn’t make a deal with that thing and set it free.”
"The Cheshire punk stashes his razor and lets the last vestiges of his sinister smile die away. Silence speaks volumes, best not let it say too much. “Naw baby girl, it’s just like you said. I fucked up, big time. A new batch of locals started howling in my head and I dosed a bit too much to quiet them down.”
"In a long and very sorted life it’s the first time that he’s ever flat out lied to someone he’s professed to love. There’s a sinking feeling in his chest and a bad taste in his mouth. Another hurtle on the way down, overshot and passed with flying colors and here he thought there were no surprises left in life."
"The worst part about lies between lovers is how easily they get swallowed. She knows what and who he is, it can’t be that hard to comprehend that he fucked up. There will be disappointment and maybe even outrage, but Hanna won’t have to try and wrap her head around the reality of what he’s set in motion."
