Artemis Lancaster Seeking Persephone. Part 4
“Artemis will drive you absolutely mad with frustration. She will push you away and throw up walls and hide behind her air of superiority” [...]“but that show of arrogance and her dependence on theatrics is a shield not a window.” [...] “She has lived with me since she was very young and, in that time, has never once been fully trusting of me. Her walls crumble for no one. She is independent, at times to a fault. That does not seem likely to change.”[...]
“And yet, with all that,” the duke said, “do not ill-treat her, no matter the provocation. She deserves better than life has offered her thus far. Don’t hurt her further. Don’t add to that pain.”
— Charming Artemis, Sarah M. Eden
