I didn't want to think about the part of me that took a dark joy in gathering all the power it could and using it as I saw fit, everything else be damned.

sorry book dark
I'm pretty sure lurking in a dark alley to mug me with your apology isn't the usual way to go about saying you're sorry. But I didn't read that Mars-Venus book, so who knows.
