“Beware a kiss, he told her. Kisses are powerful things. You expose part of your soul.”
Ruth Frances Long, The Treachery of Beautiful Things

“Kings were not patient. Not even the fallen kind.”
Ruth Frances Long, The Treachery of Beautiful Things

“Jenny threw back her head and laughed, laughter that rang out through the leaves if the oak tree above them. Jack pulled her to him, to kiss her and whisper her name again. And the oak tree above them whispered back, of love and sacrifice, of a king and a queen, and a future made anew.”
Ruth Frances Long, The Treachery of Beautiful Things
