"A girl must not be blinded by love; even if she likes someone, she needs to think it through,"
No one had ever said such words to Rae Bennett, and no one had taught her this.
Her mother said, don't be like your father.
Her father later said the same, don't be like me.
But they never taught her how not to be like him, so in the end, she still turned out like her father.

She couldn't tell Miss Watson that all her careful thinking was about how to steal Wyatt Wright, this ruby of a man.
No one could teach her anymore; she had grown up outside her mother's cage and had become a dragon.
"That's good." Having said what needed to be said, Miss Watson felt much more at ease.
"Thank you, Miss Watson, for having this talk with me."
"Why are you being so formal with me?"
Khalil Wright came out of the kitchen carrying fruit and immediately noticed, "Honey, why are your eyes red?"
