Kindle Notes & Highlights

“If hurting me will soothe the pain that wreaks havoc in you, then hurt me, Kalel. You’ll find there’s not much left inside me that can be broken.”
“You even cry with no emotions, like a stone kissed with rain,”
As much as I want to hate her, she’s slowly thawing my resolve. I long to hold her. To tell her of her beauty and how it haunts my every thought.
“How DARE you try and kill what’s mine.”

I know we aren’t two souls who are meant to be tethered to one another, but an ache settles in my heart at his reluctance to even look at me. Something from deep within my soul yearns to be with him, even if the gods revolt at our coming together.

how is it that his kiss breathes life into me like I’ve never known?
“I looked for you.” His voice is broken and wavers. His amber eyes search mine. “I came back to Florum because I was looking for you,”
