The Golden Lily (Bloodlines, #2)

by Richelle Mead

“Nice blouse, Sage,” he told me, deadpan. “It really brings out the khaki in your pants.”

‘If your eyes weren’t open, you wouldn’t know the difference between dreaming and waking.’

‘You are the most beautiful creature I have ever seen walking this earth.’”

You need me? You yell. You want to leave? We go. I’ll get you out of here, no matter what.”

But when I’m around you, I want to be better because… well, because it feels right. Because I want to. You make me want to become something greater than myself. I want to excel. You inspire me in every act, every word, every glance. I look at you, and you’re like… like light made into flesh. I said it on Halloween and meant every word: you are the most beautiful creature I have ever seen walking this earth. And you don’t even know it. You have no clue how beautiful you are or how brightly you shine.”
