Kindle Notes & Highlights
I’m growing familiar with his silences. There is his you’re insufferable silence. Different from his I am king and you must obey silence. I’m stumped by this silence. His my wife is only a step above an animal silence, perhaps. “You did so hours ago.”
The Frost King’s eyes blaze with the promise of devastation. “I will teach them not to touch what is mine.”
“There are many ugly things in this world, wife. But I do not think you are one of them.”
What can I say? I like my stories with copious amounts of sex.
Hell hath no fury like a wronged god.
“Please… what?” “Please don’t stab me for this.”
“I, too, know what it’s like to be alone.” His eyes lift, the blue so pure and unguarded I feel as though I am seeing him for the first time. “Maybe we can be alone together.”
“We hold fast to what is familiar. Fear often prevents us from stepping beyond that boundary.”
“And you are mine to protect, so let me shield you from this.”
“Your feet are freezing.” “Sorry.” I’m not sorry. I hate cold feet.
“I wonder if the fault is mine, to have thought so little of myself for so long that I squandered my life in serving someone who did not appreciate me.”
“Do you think you can make yourself look a little more approachable and less… this?” I gesture to his frown. “That’s my face,” he states blandly.
You’ve changed, Elora claimed, and she was right. Months ago, I chose my sister. This time, I chose myself.
“You underestimate your wrath, wife.”
“The West Wind has taken Boreas,” I state, looking each soldier in the eye. “I’m going after him, but I can’t do it alone.” “My lady.” Pallas smiles, and it bears an edge. “We aim to serve.”
LOVE (NOUN): A PROFOUNDLY TENDER, passionate affection for another person. Attraction that involves sexual desire. A person you love in a romantic way. Eternal devotion.
“You speak as though love is a simple concept. On the contrary, I cannot think of anything more complicated.”
“You,” he says, catching my chin before I can look away, “are the most important person in my life. There is nothing I would not do for you. I would conquer cities in your name. I would lay waste to the world and place its greatest treasures at your feet. I would cross realms and topple empires and alter time, all for the promise of an eternity spent by your side.”
