Kindle Notes & Highlights
“I’m not going to lie to you, Deyanira. I’m going to choose you.” He turned back to look at me, a swell of emotion in his eyes I’d never seen before. “And I think I need to find a way to process that. I should choose the good of the world. I should be their hero. But I think when it comes down to it, I’d rather be yours, because you have no one.”
“I am not enough. You are the stars and the storm, Wife. Somehow, you’re both peace and destruction. Nightmare and a daydream. You’re hell and home. Fear and solace. Slumber and panic. Kindness and rage. Light is easy to love, but I’ve seen your darkness, and I want that, too. I crave it. I want to fucking drown it in. But how does any man live up to that? Deserve that?”
“But what if I truly am only darkness?” “You aren’t. But if you were, then he would see the cataclysmic depths of you and wonder how you find the will to light up a room, all the same.”
“Will you stay with me, my love? In the shadows?” “And in the light and every shade between,” I whispered.
