“Let's stay up all night,' Kat whispers. 'Let's wait for the moon to kiss the morning star.”
Elissa Janine Hoole, Kiss the Morning Star

“I wonder if it hurts, being carved out like this, one grain of sand at a time. I wonder if the rocks realize that for every part of themselves they lose, they gain something beautiful”

Elissa Janine Hoole, Kiss the Morning Star
