Kindle Notes & Highlights
But I’m not keeping Ryke at gunpoint. If he wants to leave, I’d let him. And I guess I’d have to find someone to replace him. I’m not even sure that’s possible though. Maybe in my heart, I just know that I only want Ryke Meadows.
“And I highly fucking doubt the entire world loves you, Cobalt.” “The entire world doesn’t have to love me,” he says, picking up his water again. “Only the ones that matter.”
“Bad news,” Lo says, turning to me. “Connor fucked up.” I let out a short laugh. “I never thought I’d hear those magic fucking words.” “So much of what you just said, I hate,” Connor tells me causally, as though he doesn’t really care, but I see that he does when his lips twitch. Magic—Connor fucking hates magic.
I run my hand through my hair. “I’m going to sleep on the floor. It’s not a big deal.” “Of course. You probably feel at home lower to the ground,” Connor says with a growing smile.
My eyes flicker up to Connor, who stares at me with understanding and more compassion. He says, “Tout ira bien, mon ami.” Everything will be fine, my friend. Connor has said that he doesn’t believe in magic, but his words hold a possession all on their own, filling me with serenity, a temporary calmness, that I am grateful to have before my climb. Everything will be fine, my friend. I nod a couple times. Everything will be fine.
