Isabella begins to understand the shape of Lachlan’s loyalty: once he claims responsibility, the cost to himself stops mattering.
I was beginning to understand that once Lachlan decided something was his responsibility, the cost to himself stopped being part of the equation. Pain, danger, inconvenience—it didn’t seem to matter. He would do what he said he would do and deal with the consequences afterward.
~Isabella Duarte, Eyes Never Lie
About this Isabella Duarte quote
This Isabella Duarte quote reveals why Lachlan Byrnes is such a dangerous protector in Eyes Never Lie. He is not reckless because he does not feel pain or understand consequences. He is reckless because once he decides someone is his responsibility, those consequences no longer get a vote. For Isabella, who has known control masquerading as care, this kind of loyalty is startling. This post is strong for readers who love Irish mafia heroes, protective rage, and morally gray men who keep their word no matter what it costs.
