″‘Thank you for the surprise, Grandfather,’ said Violet. ‘We’ll never go away from you again.’
‘I hope not, my dear,’ said Mr. Alden. ‘We’ll all live happily ever after.’

‘And they lived happily ever after,’ Annemarie recited, whispering into the dark, completing the tale for her sister, who slept beside her, one thumb in her mouth.”
“I can’t stand fairy tales. They’re all the same.

Which is fine if you happen to be a goody-goody and look gorgeous. But if you’re bad and ugly then you’ve got no chance whatsoever.”
