Beautiful Scar (The Brotherhood #2)

“I’m a monster. Look at me.”

Oliver treats his scars like a map of his failures. It hurts to see how much he hates the parts of him that stayed strong.

“I don't see a monster. I see you.”

Sydney doesn't look away from the damage. She finds beauty in the parts Oliver tries to hide behind his anger.

Loyalty in the Brotherhood feels more like a cage than a family. They all owe so much that they can’t even breathe for themselves.

“I can’t change what I am.”

Watching Oliver try to be a better man while his past drags him back is exhausting. You can't just wash off blood with good intentions.
