Albertine loved Buddy but let him go too.
11:37 PM
ok
8:04 PM
"Albertine felt the pain of Buddy being taken away but she always knew this day would come, and it had."
1:32 PM
'Inside...Albertine and Buddy were screaming and both felt each other's pain connect...neither of them wanted to let go.'
7:58 PM
Buddy felt the taste of blood - his blood, his family's blood - and a second later it disappeared, leaving only the sweetness of chocolate, and the thought that maybe his long hidings had finished and that he could once again lead a normal life with someone who loved him, and start again.
3:31 PM
The taste of the blood is the only thing left that connects and will remind Buddy of his mother, Albertine American Horse.
6:50 PM

"Vicki Koob looked out the window and saw all the animals lift up their heads, howling to the moon that wasn't there - a final act of resistance."

6:11 PM
He was thinking of every moment spent with his mother...The tears started running trough his face...
6:58 PM
As Buddy took off, hopes of everlasting freedom filled his mind. Would he ever be the butterly that flew off on its own, or the wild horses that lived freely? That question, he only tasted through the chocolate Vicki Koob had given him along with the blood and tears of his mother and himself...
9:49 PM
My last senteces of this story would be like: Albertine was on the groud facing the sky and she could see the sun. Her body was sweating but her heart was freezing.
11:22 PM
“Inside, Buddy was torn between two feelings, one was sadness and the other was happiness. He was sad because he knew that he will never see his mother again. He was happy because he knew that he will never see his drunk mother again and maybe he will have a nice home. But he decided to keep his second feeling just for himself. Because he knew that that will look more normal”.
