Kindle Notes & Highlights
We are bigger than this world. Our love is greater than time and space—that much I know for certain. So, I’ll watch from afar. I’ll hunt you like my little lamb. I’ll quietly help you from afar and save your pride from being trampled by what you would consider charity, even though it’s far from it. I’m only sharing what’s rightfully yours. And when it’s time to feast, I’ll know. Until we meet again, my love.
“Shh, he hasn’t won, Stardust,” the deep voice coos. “No one will ever violate you again.”
The figs were once so symbolic for us—a representation of how forbidden and taboo this whole thing once was. And I suppose that’s still true, considering she has absolutely no clue that I exist. But no matter what memories her mind decides to hold on to or omit, no matter what twisted lifetime we find ourselves dropped into, she'll always be mine. Her soul belongs to me. Nothing about my love for her is forbidden; it’s simply misunderstood by most.
I saw his hair, and I just knew exactly what it felt like. His scent was like a distant memory—a word that sits on the tip of your tongue, but never materializes. I know it, and then I don’t.
“If you don't lean back on that pillow, grab the vibrator back up, and run it along your pussy in the next thirty seconds, I'm going to do it for you,”
He watches me like I'm the only other person in the world. Like every move I make is the most interesting, most outrageous thing he's ever witnessed. The way I always hoped Gabe would look at me, only to turn and find him looking elsewhere. He watches me like a man in love.
“He manipulated and controlled you well before he put that needle in your arm. Don’t allow your grief to confuse love with infatuation over the false reality you built in your head just to survive him. None of that was real.”
“You are the most exquisite thing I've ever seen, especially when you come,”
“Death is inevitable. Grief is a privilege. It means you've loved someone enough to want the impossible—for them to live forever.”
“The fact that you're asking me that is absolutely gutting,” he mumbles into the ground.
But I could never punish him for loving me so fiercely. He found me again. We lost each other in the chaos that everyone else created in our lives, and he still managed to get to me.
“I would have waited a lifetime for you, sweet little lamb.”
“Fine. Let's kill these assholes so we can get married.” I've never loved her more.
It reminds me of the night I killed Gabe. An entire lifetime ago, yet it feels like mere months have passed.
