against the tree trunks he called legs.

“Whatever you’re thinking, I suggest you stop and just sleep.”
“Now, we both know you’re not capable of having less than ten thoughts in a second, Samara.”
Haha
“You… you can smell when someone is telling the truth?”
Haha
“I can scent the evidence from you that your thoughts are a bit, let’s say, amorous.”

Omg
Amalthea wasn’t just a witch. She was an oracle.

He wasn’t treating me like I was prey or overly delicate.
Thats sweet

BOY!!! YOU BETTER RUN
“You’re the king’s Chosen, girl. You could do the Crown a great service in your role.”
What are you talking about
