"Sometimes a story emerges fully formed in your mind, and sometimes it’s an onion, requiring several ‘peels’ to get to the real, eye-watering heart of the matter."

It's still wild to me that I'm going to marry this unbelievably gorgeous lady in six weeks time. Like... how is that even possible? How is she even real?? LOOK AT HER! I AM OBSESSED!
(although tbf I did buy her those flowers so I guess I'm good at wooing, memo to self: keep doing that)

Fuentes then fantasizes about “breeding gulags”: “So just like Hitler imprisoned Gypsies, Jews, communists, you know, all of his political rivals, we have to do the same thing with women… They go to the breeding gulags. The good ones will be liberated. The bad ones will toil in the mines forever.”
