“She tried to take my dress, Maxon,” I complained. “I said I don’t want to talk about her,” he said fiercely.

WHAT???!!!!!!! these two piss me off i hope they die in a rebel attack

For all intents and purposes, I am lord and master of this country, and I’ll be damned if you think you can treat me like this in my own home. You don’t have to agree with my decisions, but you will abide by them.”

he’s so hot

As I passed, I heard him inhale just next to my hair. It gave me a chill.

i’m going to throw up

Lucy ducked her head and Mary’s cheeks looked redder than my hair, but they didn’t answer. Anne, though she also seemed taken by Aspen’s good looks, was put together enough to speak at least.

i might be making this up but i’m pretty sure aspen just gets paired off with one of the maids which is actually just so insane and unaware as a plot point considering they’re all sixes

“First, let me say I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have yelled at you.”

ok well if he’s sorry

“I’m getting more and more worried, America. North or South, they’re getting exceptionally determined. It seems they won’t stop until they get what they want, and we haven’t the faintest clue what it is.”

you’re so fucking stupid it’s sad what do you mean you don’t know what they want you have an entire caste of homeless people

“So you’re choosing him over me?” he asked miserably. “No, I’m not choosing him or you. I’m choosing me.”

bullshit
