Flamefall (The Aurelian Cycle, #2)

by Rosaria Munda

The best parts of myself, I found with Annie.

You can’t remember what came before, and you can’t imagine what will come after. Like a sunlit day between weeks of rain, you find it hard to believe, looking up at the sky, that it could ever not be filled with light.

There is nothing in the world as beautiful as Annie’s smile.

All this takes place the evening Annie and I reunite.
