Why am I the only one without an off switch?
“I love you,” I whisper. “I love you exactly as you are.” Warner is looking at me like he might be going deaf and blind at the same time. “No,” he gasps. One broken, broken word. Barely even a sound. He’s shaking his head and he’s looking away from me and his hand is caught in his hair, his body turned toward the table and he says “No. No, no—” “Aaron—” “No,” he says, backing away. “No, you don’t know what you’re saying—” “I love you,” I tell him again. “I love you and I want you and I wanted you then,” I say to him, “I
wanted you so much and I still want you, I want you right now—”
Warner’s hand is on my back. He leans in, whispers, “How easy is it to take this thing off?”
THE definition of the book might be ya, but aaron warner is not 😭
“Aaron?” “Yes, love.”
“Ignite, my love. Ignite.”
“I want to destroy The Reestablishment.”
“Juliette, love,” he says to me, still holding my eyes. “You have just started a war.”
He’s looking at me like I’ve just pulled the moon out of my pocket.
“His name is Paris.” “How did you know that?” I spin around and find Warner standing just outside the open elevator. It’s still pinging softly, only just now signaling his arrival. The doors close behind him. He’s staring at Adam in shock. Adam blinks fast at Warner and then at us, unsure what to do. “How did you know that?” Warner demands again.
well, crap is going down 😂
Two words to change the world.
Little by little. It’s pulled out of Adam. One word at a time. And the rest of us are looking on, and James is still sleeping, and I go silent as these two brothers have the hardest conversation I’ve ever had to watch.
Words are like seeds, I think, planted into our hearts at a tender age.
I feel like I might die of happiness.
There’s never been a colder day, I think. Never been more ice in the air.
“Who’s Bruce Lee?” “Who’s Bruce Lee?” Kenji asks, horrified. “Oh my God. We can’t even be friends anymore.”
i could FEEL Kenji's frustration 😭
It looks almost comical from here. Like they were a bunch of toys I was pushing off my desk. And now they’re bouncing in the water, trying to figure out what’s just happened.
“Fight me,” I say to them, blood and urgency and a crazy kind of adrenaline rushing through me. “I dare you.”
And first, I need to make them safe. And second, I need him dead.
I would scream, if I could. If I had any energy left.
But I suppose, if I have to die, I may as well do one more thing before I go. I reach up. Grab Anderson’s ankles. Clench my fists. And crush his bones in my hands.
“I am Juliette Ferrars, and I will lead this nation. I challenge anyone who would stand against me.”
Because I now know how to control it.
Castle nods at me, beaming. Lily blows me a kiss. Ian makes some strange finger-gun motion and Brendan waves. Alia has never looked more jubilant.
“I can’t wait to watch them try.”
