“Time takes it all whether you want it to or not, time takes it all. Time bares it away, and in the end there is only darkness. Sometimes we find others in that darkness, and sometimes we lose them there again.” ― Stephen King
#think about all of the times in her life she’s opened her door only to be disappointed by her idiot uncle #think of all the times he’s been on the other side of that door only to see her face and think #wow #that’s my beautiful amazing extraordinary daughter #look at how she’s grown up #look at the strong fearless person she is #only he couldn’t say any of that stuff #or hug her and tell her how much he missed her #or tell her how he’s always loved her beyond all reason #the invisible wall between them must have cut deeper than any verbal exchange between the two #a father wanting to love his little girl and a daughter who was robbed of the chance to be surrounded by that loe #nope #just look at how absolutely stunned and happy he is at the sight of her
“You’ve tried everything else and nothing has satisfied you. You’re the girl who has everything but there’s always been something just out of your reach, something you need desperately and can’t have. That’s what I’m offering you. Power. Eternal life. And feelings you’ve never felt before.”
