“But who’s going to protect me from my betrothed? That girl is a wild animal. Can you imagine her as a politician’s wife? I doubt she even knows how to walk in heels.” “Then you’ll teach her,” my mother says. “I don’t know how to walk in heels, either,”
“I’m really sorry that—” “Don’t apologize again,” he says. “I mean it. First off, it wasn’t your fault.” “Yes, it was.”
Yes it was…she could have just waited until she left but she decided to set the courts in on fire.
And take the watch. Why did she take the watch???
And then threw it in the lake?? 😭
“I can’t believe this. I’m marrying a child. And not a normal child—a demon hellspawn, like Chucky, or the Children of the Corn . . .”
I content myself with smiling up at him and saying, “In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity.”
“Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.”
The great Callum Griffin. He’s their JFK, and I’m supposed to be their Jackie Kennedy. I’d rather be Lee Harvey Oswald.
This is too American for me
I snacked on strawberries all morning, thinking it would give him hives. Maybe ruin a few of our stupid wedding photos.
“Tell me,” Callum orders. “Did you love that arrogant piece of shit?”
Did. You. Love. Him. Yes love, I’m jealous 😭😭 I miss Xaden
I put my lips up against his ear and I whisper, “Do you want me, Cal?” “I don’t want you,” he moans, his voice husky and raw. “I need you.”
Kicking my feet
“You’re mine, Aida,” Callum growls in my ear. “I’ll kill anyone who tries to touch you.”
Rawr
I love the “I’ll kill anyone who touches you” microtrope
“If you EVER talk to my wife like that again, I’ll empty that clip in your chest.”
Smash, next question
You should have just run!” Aida fixes me with her most serious expression. “I would never abandon you,” she says. We’re spinning slightly in the current, the city lights rotating around us. We’re holding each other, looking into each other’s eyes, while our feet tread water. “Neither would I,” I promise her. “I’ll always find you, Aida.”
God forbid a married couples rescues each other
Trust is rarer than love. It’s putting your fate, your happiness, your life in someone’s hands. Hoping they keep it safe.
“I love you, Aida,” I say. “Don’t you fucking dare!” she yells back at me. “You grab my arm, or I’ll jump in after you!”
You’re falling into the fire, not Tartarus mate. Don’t Annabeth and Percy your way into this
