Kindle Notes & Highlights
“What did you wish for?” His words came out in a raspy whisper. She faced him fully as she slowly backed all the way to the door, reaching behind her and gripping the handle. There was a soft look on her face that made his bones feel like jelly. “I’ll let you know when it comes true.”
His knees buckled as her blue eyes caught his, and her smile pushed even wider still. “I am perhaps a little hurt that you neglected to send me an invitation.”
“I would never make the mistake of underestimating a woman like you. It would be a fatal one.”

“Does your mind live in the gutter?” She shook her head, tapping a finger against her lips. “No, but it rents there on occasion.”
“Someone who’d like to know you,” he said. Tatianna scoffed, rolling her eyes and shaking her head. “I could break you in two.” The knight gave her a crooked grin. “Do you promise?”
“Get down!” They both dove for the floor, Trystan holding Sage’s head and angling his body over hers.
“You think I do not care? As if thoughts of you and your well-being don’t plague me daily. Nightly. Every second we are apart! I watched you die! I thought I’d never see you again! I have never known such darkness, and I never wish to again. If you think that makes me overbearing, so be it. But do not ever claim I do not care about you. You are wiser than that, Evie. Do not be a fucking fool.”
But she was inevitable, from the moment he first saw her and every moment since. He loved her. It was a never-ending echo that he’d vowed to never say aloud.
Trystan had asked her how to get free, not how to ruin his fucking life.
He was dumbstruck in love with her.
