Delilah: An Under Your Scars Novella

For all the terrible things he did as the Silencer, Christian Reeves was a hero. My hero. 

It's so hard to get people to listen to me when all they think about when they see my name is that I'm the daughter of a serial killer.

Her aura, her compassion, her love, everything about her was angelic.

I've struggled a lot with whether I believe in an afterlife, in heaven, but if it's real, I know she's there.

…in killing himself after losing her, he probably still ended up having to live an eternity without her.

Tell your mother that I'll be waiting for her on the other side, yeah?

He didn't kill himself because he gave up on me, but because he lost the only thing that was holding him together.

I couldn’t have known my grandfather was going to go off the deep end that morning. 

I deserve his anger. I deserve the guilt. Most importantly, I deserve the loneliness he was so afraid of.
