“I won’t tell a soul that the fearsome Axe Eyes has a soft side.” And as blackness had pulled her into sleep, she could have sworn she’d heard him say, “only for you, Sunshine.”
“I’m tired of being strong. I’m just tired.”
“You don’t have to be strong all the time. Let me be strong for you.”
Remember, Moonflower, it is always darkest just before dawn.
“Shh, my warrior,”
“I wanted you on Longest Day when you came out in that dress,” he said, voice ragged. “I wanted you when you pushed me across the field on the way to Kraki’s. I wanted you when you killed the vampire deer, when you blackmailed me, even when you tried to steal my gods damned horse. I’ve wanted you since the night you stormed up to me and told me I couldn’t frighten you away. That was it for me, Sunshine.”
“You make me happy, Sunshine—so damn happy it terrifies me. But the thought of losing you terrifies me even more. I want this. I want you…us.” Rey paused. “And if you never want to be Eisa, it won’t change how I feel. If you wish to rest, I will shield you from harm. If you want to fight, I will draw my sword beside you. If you want a hundred chickens, I will build you a hen-fortress.”
There is beauty to behold in the in between.”
