One Last Rainy Day (Ravenhood Legacy #1)

by Kate Stewart

Feral kids with no one looking for or calling us home while we did the best we could with our dealt hands.

In offering her my fuse, she ignited me. Fire and water, she’s both burn and soothe. The haze I’ve been immersed in lifted so fast. It was as if I had roused from a deep sleep only to open my eyes and see the world through a magnifying glass.

“You’re an asshole.” And you’re the most beautiful punishment I’ve ever been dealt.

Life has a way of ripping our ideas and hopes about the things that matter most to us to shreds.

A vow without words but a promise just the same. A promise I’ll do everything in my power to keep. Looking into her eyes, I vow she’ll never know about the monsters she can’t see because I’ll slay them all before they have a chance to get to her. Even if that monster is me.

Trying to reason with love is fucking pointless. It doesn’t care about your reasons, right or wrong. Love has no regard for circumstance, nor does it give a fuck what state it puts you in. It’s a relentless and unforgiving emotion that will never let you lie to yourself. —Tobias, The Finish Line

“We love rainy days, don’t we, baby?” “We do,” she croaks, voice breaking.
