Kindle Notes & Highlights
“What doesn’t destroy you will reshape you. Remember this, Celeste. Remember that the same fire that transforms sand into glass can turn logs into ash.”
“Coercion is our specialty, along with fire and impressive wingspans.”
“Because we aren’t the sum of our mistakes but the sum of how we deal with them.”
Pretty on the outside; petty on the inside. Crazy how a single letter could make such a difference.
“With me, Celeste. You belong with me. To me.” And then he was stepping forward, filling my space. Filling all the space. “The same way I belong to you.”
“You can feel mine, Celeste, because my reckless soul has decided it belongs with yours.” The air darkened as his wings curled around our bodies. “Ta yot neshahadzaleh, levsheh.” His fingertips danced up the length of my spine, then back down, before wrapping delicately around my waist. “You are my soulhalf, sweetheart.”
“Tonight, I vow to forever protect your body, your heart, and your soul.” In slow motion, his hips pulled back, then pressed forward, and a tremor zinged through both our bodies. “Ni aheeva ta, Celeste.” “What does that mean?” “It means: I love you.”
You can rewrite this story a million different ways, Celeste, but it will always end the same. It will end with you and me.”
