‘ well. thank you for your honesty. ‘
meme.
you left me. you let them raise me like this. (while you're here, you're a valued business associate. let's hope you're a quick study. but not to worry, you'll have someone close to you at all times to help.)
aldous has been burned on her skin and the scars aren’t nearly as unsightly as veera suominen’s are. (they’re pristine. chiselled. they’re marble countertops and ‘62 margaux. marc jacobs and rare steak. empty and cold with perfect diction.)
you did this. you walked away. salted petri dishes. (everything i have become is because of you and father. every ounce of spite and every drop of malice. this is what you made. this is your chosen daughter.)
‘yes, well. ira tells me you appreciate candour.’ candour. truth. you made me think you were dead. you left. you disappeared. you let them raise me. you let them do this. i am here. whether you like it or not.
‘so let me be perfectly candid. you left. this is not up to you anymore, mother.’
