Claudia You worked so hard for that book. You sacrificed so much. So many men... more than you could spare. Now all those people who were too scared to even say your name, they're downstairs tearing up the bar right now. Did you know that? And there's no one there to stop them. Claudia I can't imagine what it must feel like, having what you want so close, and it might as well be a million miles away. Claudia I was born this way. I think probably I'm lucky, because I was already used to being like this ... by the time it happened.
