    Sue Monk Kidd
    “As he left, I peered at Sarah Mapps and her mother, the way they grabbed hands and squeezed in relief, and then at Nina, at the small exultation on her face. She was braver than I, she always had been. I cared too much for the opinions of others, she cared not a whit. I was cautious, she was brash. I was a thinker, she was a doer. I kindled fires, she spread them. And right then and ever after, I saw how cunning the Fates had been. Nina was one wing, I was the other.”

    “As the pair turned to leave they were taken by surprise by the shop owner. He was middle-aged and did not look as though he could overpower Arvid, although the large club he wielded showed his intention.
    Raimund instinctively made a run for the door, only to be floored by a blow from the club. From his dazed prone position Raimund watched in horror as his uncle thrust his knife into the shopkeeper’s chest. With blood pumping from the fatal wound, the shopkeeper fell across Raimund.”

    “Sting told me if I love somebody I should set them free.

    I doubt Sting ever loved anyone with wings. If he did he might rethink such a stupid sentiment.

    I suppose the point is to wait for your love to come back to you voluntarily.

    I wonder if there’s a difference between setting something free and letting it go?

    I probably did it wrong.

    I should stop taking advice from my radio.

    I worry that you’re lost.

    I keep a heart-shaped cage unlocked for you, out on the street where it can easily be seen.

    So if one day you return at least you’ll have a place to stay.”
