Helena’s very self-depreciating version of events did not slip past Myka’s notice. That was part and parcel to Helena, she was her own worst enemy, task master, punisher.

“But in all of that, you still didn’t bring the devil out of me,” Myka pointed out. “I found other means to cope with my emotions, I’m good at that. I… can’t say I absolutely would never lose it. Absolutes can’t be applied like that. There are circumstances I can’t even imagine that I could find myself in, and I can’t say for certain I will always do the right thing. No one can know that for certain. But that slim possibility is not going to stop me from being with you. If slim possibilities prevented lovers from being together, no one would get to be in love.”
