Kindle Notes & Highlights
It has always been better to remain quiet than risk speaking words no one believes.
“Life left you empty so that you’d have room to fill it. We are only hollow if we allow ourselves to remain that way.”
I’ve always believed love is like water, the way it flows between bodies and souls. You can’t stop the flow of it because one pathway is closed off. It just finds another exit.
“Silas, I promise to be your peace when the world provides only war. To be your secret keeper and safe haven. Today, I vow to be the one person who accepts you for who you are and who you will become.” She glances up at me, holding my gaze as she speaks the last line. “Till death do us part.”
“On this day, I vow to make your rage my own, to weather the storm of your revenge and keep you forever safe. I promise to stand by you. No matter what comes, you will never be alone. Till death do us part.”
But Silas, it’s like he knows how to keep me rooted in the present. With two hands, he holds me to the earth, refuses to let go, and makes me feel everything. It’s terrifying.
“Because he cares.” Sage leans toward me, whispering, “No one cares like Silas Hawthorne. We all have a curse, Coraline. That’s his.”
I want my body to be his comfort, like his voice is mine.
