There are some secrets we keep because we can't bear to let them out and some because it's better to keep them in.

The things that are most precious to us are sometimes the most secret.

"No," Preston snapped. But he didn't protest long because, if I'm going to be honest - which is kind of the point of these reports - I was already unzipping his pants.

It was the first time in years I didn’t wonder if my father was out there, looking at it too.
