Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Is that what we are, princess? A serpent and a songbird?”
“You’re not allowed to leave me with Jonas’s short attention span for six months ever again.”
“I made a child smile. If you find it so disgusting, then I wonder what that makes you?”
Hate me, curse me, I cared little, so long as I was the first thought of her day and the last of her night.
To her, I might be hideous, but in spineless moments, I thought I might be content to kneel at her feet for the rest of my damn days if she healed the Ever.
He’s SO DOWN BAD
I could spend the rest of my days with my mouth on her body, and I’d consider it a life well lived.
“Glitter and gold, sing me home.”
“I didn’t think you were quite civilized enough to live in caves. I suspected you simply dug holes in the sand.”
“Your ability to conjure such brutal scenarios is, quite possibly, my favorite thing about you,
“You are not weak because of fears, but I will do what I can to help you wade between the fears that are plausible and the ones that are the mind trying to paralyze you.”

Tait 🤝 Livia
You were never supposed to matter, but you do. You ruined everything, and I don’t care. Ruin me. Destroy me. As long as I have you.” Wretched, beautiful man.
“I’m yours.” I buried my face against the slope of her neck. “Gods, I’m yours.”

Words failed me, so I kissed her. I kissed her until she understood I would crush worlds for her. I would cross the skies and seas to chase her light. I’d never stop.
My father loved me fiercely, and I’d never doubted it. Perhaps that was the trouble.
I kept my sights on the stars in the sky. The gleam of Nightfire and his lover. I’d cross the skies, Songbird.
A man he’s not, we work we rot, No sleep until it’s through. A sailor’s grave is all we crave. We are the Ever King’s crew.
