“Well, James, here we are. Dating.

They're both having one-sidded underwater conversations with little actual communication and somehow still ending up on the same page???

“What I have learned through this madness is that you can absolutely solve your problems by throwing money at them. If you can't, you probably don't have enough money for that particular problem.”
Xiran Jay Zhao, Iron Widow

Tad Williams
Summer's End

Cruel orb, my foe, the sun,

Glaring upon things
I never want to see again
The proud, lightning-limbed oaks
Of Hekhasor
The shimmering blue waters of Silverhome's lake
And the endless, endless sky
Go away, foul sun! You make me sad.”
Tad Williams, Empire of Grass

“We lived hand in hand with the sand, the wind and the sun. When the wind blew strong, the sand from the sea whirled up and violently battered the Mud Whale. The grains would get inside the keep and stick to people's skin. When the sun shone, the mud walls, the drifts of sand, and the grains on people's skin all sparkled.”
Abi Umeda, Children of the Whales, Vol. 1

“Last night, I felt a depth of sadness that I haven't felt or allowed myself to feel in a while. I mourned for Mia, the loss of our friendship, and mostly for the loss of my history, the lost memory of who I once was.”
Heather Dark, excerpt from The Designer Wife

Kathryn Lasky
“This is what’s so terrible about grief: You relive the final moments of your beloved’s life for years and years and years. It’s like flying with one wing. You never become used to it. The shock might wear off, the images grow a little dimmer. But the panic creeps back while you sleep in the brightest part of the day. My dreams are drenched now with the pink foam of the cresting waves, waves pink with the blood of my Lil. The same pink as the ice flowers she had worn on our wingfast night, the pink of the garland she had draped over her head. I have a deep and abiding hatred of morning light now, of high noon, of anything that reminds me of the day my mate died.”
Kathryn Lasky, The Rise of a Legend
