Just Don't Cheat - Tumblr Posts

I'm reading The Lost Sisters out of curiosity and I find it poetic how it is written as a missive to Jude.

So much longing Taryn has for the bond she had part in breaking, yet she chose him, chose Locke, over her

Over Jude, her sister.

Yet I pity naive Taryn.

But not enough to overlook the resentment

Not enough to ignore how she still blames Jude

Blames her defiance, her secrets, for being a remainder, a mirror.

Jude's secrets were to protect herself

Taryn's secrets were to prove herself to Locke

If secrets are bad, were they both wrong? But actions are judged by consequences, not intentions.

Love is not noble if it hurts others at the end of the tale.

Rhya was right, love is greedy, but Taryn's love is like an ugly glutton beast.

And yet I pity Taryn, but not enough

Never enough.

"you're going to forgive me. You have to. You're my sister, my twin. You've got to understand. If I just explain it right, I know you're going to understand. And I am going to keep standing here and practicing it in the mirror until you stop looking at me that way when I finish." - Taryn, The Lost Sisters
