Kindle Notes & Highlights
In love with a girl I’d have bowed to long before she became my queen.
would spend the rest of my days making her flower crowns if she wanted to be a queen. My queen. Not Kitt’s. Not Ilya’s. Mine.
“So bow at my feet with a sneer, if you must. I won’t see it with your face to the ground.”
“Pae.” His voice is ragged. “I would lose my life for you before finding something else worth living for.” His fingers weave into my hair, slide along the back of my neck. “You are my inevitable. In life and in death.”
So I spin her in the moonlight. Smile when she laughs at my expense. And let her step on my toes.
My throat is dry. I swallow thickly. “You love me.” “Then.” His hands cup my face. “Now.” My lips brush his. “Always. And I’ll find your shoes for you in every lifetime if you’ll allow it.”
