Claire: little girl. red dress. black hair. pale as hell. just staring at him

Jenna: did she say anything??

Claire: yes. we all heard it

Claire: not with our ears. inside. like it went straight into your body

Jenna: what did she say

Claire: “You broke the laws.”

Claire: “The cost of that clarity is every breath you take from this moment on.”

Claire: Jenna. I will NEVER forget how that felt.
