I fall into a world of brooding, epically-schlonged vampires and read until sunlight pours through my windows.
And brilliant. And quite funny. And with an arse so fine, Geralt of Rivia comes to him for workout tips.
“I’m sorry, you rescind the tea invitation? That is the sickest burn I’ve heard from a member of the aristocracy.”
“Talk, lest I find other ways to tempt open those lips.”
“I did not run from our kiss because I don’t want you, Winnie. I ran because you’re everything I’ve dreamed of.”
“You don’t look good. You look white. I mean, you’re always white, but now you’re even whiter. You look like an ad for Moleskine notebooks.” “Are Moleskine notebooks a white people thing?” Mina asks. Komal flips her hair. “If you have to ask, white girl …” Isis quietly slides her own notebook under her bag.
“Reginald will be pleased. Women in flowing gothic dresses are always fleeing dramatically from the castle holding them, and we’re running low.”
“I … I am trying to commit every moment with you to memory, so I may revisit these days and nights long after you’re gone.” That might be the strangest and most romantic thing anyone has ever said to me.
“Winnie, from the moment I smelt you in the pub, you have possessed me utterly. I am already yours.”
Loving her will destroy me utterly. But I am more than ready to be ruined.
“I am jealous of the sun, for it kisses your skin where I cannot. I am jealous of that coffee you’re drinking, for it touches your lips …”
But at least there are no secrets between us anymore … save one.
That I am hopelessly in love with Winnie Preston, and the monster in me wishes for an eternity that can never be.
“I know it’s hard for you to let me see your weakness,” he murmurs. “You have always had to be so strong. You’re the one who cleans up everyone’s mess, so you never get to be a mess yourself. Well, I want to love you whether you are a quiet day or a raging hurricane. I want you to fall apart for me so I can love every piece of you. Give me your wounds, Winnie, and I will bleed for you.”
