Kindle Notes & Highlights
I hold his stare for a heartbeat, or two, before he turns back to the front, leaving me feeling undressed by his eyes, measured for a coffin, or both.
I can’t... I can’t care about you, because then it would be my fault if they found me. It would be my fault that they’d come after you. Hurt you because of me. And I won’t have that.”
“I’ve… lost people. Before I came here, I swore I wouldn’t care like that again. If I let nobody in, they couldn’t hurt me. But you didn’t care, did you? You barged into my fucking heart uninvited, and now you’re here.” He takes my hand and presses my palm to his chest, eyes never leaving mine. “You’re here, and I can’t do a single fucking thing to stop it. So you will not let anything happen to yourself. You’re going to live. You’re going to thrive, or I’ll never forgive you.”
“Nessa Thorne. A force of fucking nature,” Raith says with a soft smile. “I tried not to fall for you, and your stubborn ass wouldn’t take ‘no’ for an answer.”
“I’ll protect you. No matter the cost. No matter the battle. No matter fucking what. I’ll be there to keep you safe. Always. Forever. That’s my oath.”
