Caught in the Basilisk's Gaze (Monsters of Faery, #4)

by Mallory Dunlin

"If you're a ghost, haunt me. Let me hold you when your nightmares leave you screaming. Water the ash with tears and watch the wildflowers bloom with me." I rested my face against his, and he didn't pull away. "I always loved ghost stories. I can love yours, too."

"My heart beats because of you, and for you. You are my song and my solace." I could hear the smile in his voice as he said, "Princess, I would love to catch bugs with you."
