Reflected in You (Crossfire, #2)

“He was my addiction, and I had no silver bullet for the cravings.”

Gideon and Eva are so broken they keep cutting each other. It shows how trauma makes you crave the person who hurts you most.

“I didn't want to be his weakness. I wanted to be his strength.”

The way Gideon keeps secrets to protect Eva is actually just a form of control. It makes their relationship feel like a beautiful cage.

Brett's presence reminds you that normal love feels boring when you are used to chaos. Eva struggles to choose peace over the fire.

“We're a mess, Angel.”

Cary is the only person who truly sees Eva without wanting to own her. Their friendship is the only healthy thing in her life.
