J.R. Ward Quote

A few minutes later, John got up, put his clothes back on, palmed his liquor bottle, and left.As the door clicked shut, Xhex pulled the duvet over herself.She did nothing to try to control the shakes that rattled her body, and didn't attempt to stop herself from crying. Tears left both of her eyes at the far corners, slipping out and flowing over her temples. Some landed in her ears. Some eased down her neck and were absorbed by the pillow. Others clouded her vision, as if they didn't want to leave home.Feeling ridiculous, she put her hands to her face and captured them as best she could, wiping them on the duvet.She cried for hours.Alone.
