Quotes by Kilby Blades  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“I’ll never admit it, but the line between Darby and Violet was once blurred in my own mind. They’re both my ideal woman, though one I created and the other materialized. Seeing the woman I had invented personified was what prompted me to speak to her that first night. If there had never been a Violet, there may never have been a Darby, or an us.”
Kilby Blades, Chrysalis

“At those times, I could see her—I mean really see her, too—and my girl was fucking beautiful.”
Kilby Blades, Friended: A Nostalgia Songfic

“With all due respect, sir, I'd like to stay. I doubt that my word means much to her right now, so I'd like my presence to speak for how much I care."

Holy hell. The kid loved Roxy. I could see it in his eyes. He reminded me of a young me.”
Kilby Blades, Friended: A Nostalgia Songfic
