Kindle Notes & Highlights

“I j-just wanted my brother back.” “You never lost me.” My words are a plea I desperately need him to understand. “I have always been right at your side—your brother, no matter our blood.”
“No. You are strength. Life itself. That is why Death fears you.”
“Pae,” I breathe. “I’ll kneel here all day, so long as your answer is yes.” A hand falls from her mouth to reveal a wide grin. “Good. I quite like the sight of you beneath me.” “Vicious little thing,” I murmur with all the admiration she deserves.
She is my dream. She is my piece of paradise. She is my inevitable.
