“Oh, I will be cruel to you,It will stop your breath, how cruel I can be. But you understand, don’t you? You are clever enough. I am a demanding creature. I am selfish and cruel and extremely unreasonable. But I am your servant. When you starve I will feed you; when you are sick I will tend you. I crawl at your feet; for your love, your kisses, I am debased. For you alone I will be weak.”

I burn, I freeze; I am never warm. I am rigid; I forgot softness because it did not serve me.

Forests have secrets, he said gently. It’s practically what they’re for. To hide things. To separate one world from another.

In a fantasy book series I read a while back, the main character encountered a pair of witch sisters who shared a husband. The husband was a 'reverse werewolf,' so he was a wolf most of the time, but during a full moon, he turned into a man.
One witch sister said she was married to the man while the other said she was married to the wolf.
...
...anyway, this is how I imagine these three explain their relationship when they're tired of explaining their relationship and they just want to confuse people for kicks.

You are going to break your promise. I understand. And I hold my hands over the ears of my heart, so that I will not hate you.
