Ruthless Vows (Letters of Enchantment, #2)

by Rebecca Ross

You may not be a goddess, but nor am I a god. Despite our mundane lives, perhaps we make our own magic with words.

*outshine: transitive verb a. to shine brighter than b. to excel in splendor or showiness You remember how you said that word to me in the infirmary, post-trenches? You believed I had come to the Bluff to outshine you. And I would speak this word back to you now, but only because I would love to see you burn with splendor. I would love to see your words catch fire with mine.
