Royally Screwed (Royally, #1)

“My grandmother talks to paintings.”

This line is everything to me. This is the heart of Nicholas and Olivia’s relationship - where they bare their souls to each other, in a way - and see they are mirror images of one another, despite the fact that they come from two different worlds. It’s beginning, the spark of their emotional connection, that grows and is built upon throughout the story. Easily one of my most favorite - and most intimate - scenes I’ve ever written.
