“I’m not sure what I was deliberating. Or why, for that matter. The phone was on its fourth ring. Animus, still standing next to me with scissors, watched my indecision with fluttering eyes, almost an obsessive twitch.” — SEE YOU SOON, AFTON (Chapter 3)

Quotes:
“…just as the night was shattered by the first traces of dawn, I crawled into bed, praying to a God I didn’t believe in for meaningful slumber. And yet I tossed and turned, my mind addled with an inescapable truth, that I was at the mercy of a man I couldn’t pick from a lineup, with a name I couldn’t verify.” — SEE YOU SOON, AFTON (Chapter 6)
“I scanned between … emerald leaves, weightless branches, and darkened cores, all but overlooking their natural beauty. He was nearby, I was fucking sure of it, even though my intuition alone proved nothing.” — SEE YOU SOON, AFTON (Chapter 7)
“…something made me pause, with one foot planted on the first carpeted step. Some kind of sound, and not a creak from the staircase. It was a moan, and it was coming from somewhere below me. I stood still, one hand gripping the banister, until it came again.” — SEE YOU SOON, AFTON (Chapter 11)
