Primrose: A Small Look Into Embracing Calla

A look into the romance novel Embracing Calla

 

“Marilyn told me to ally with Rose, but I informed her that if Poppy didn’t tell Rose, I’m not going to. There’s a reason we don’t let Rose know things. She likes to talk and speaks without thinking, so the last thing I need is for Rose to open her big mouth and ruin things.” -Calla

 

“Rose, don’t give up on yourself. You shouldn’t sacrifice yourself. You deserve to be happy, just as much as she does.” -Benedict

“What’s going on? You two are talking to each other?” I get this feeling that Rose is about to walk out on us. “If you two have been actually talking to each other for the past six years now—“ -Primrose

 

“I’m going to tell you what to do. I’m going to make you understand how Calla works. I’m going to give you the insider’s secret.” -Primrose

 

“I don’t want to tell you what I want you to do. I just want you to want to do it. I want you to look at me and want me. I want you to think that I’m so desirable, you can’t keep your hands or dick off me. Right now, I feel like you can’t stand me. You look at me and feel nothing for me. I’m forcing you to make me feel pretty. Is any of this magical, or do you just pity me?” -Primrose

 

“I’ve dedicated my entire life to her, and she doesn’t even tell me she’s fucking moving.” -Primrose
