“You know, for two people with a love eternal, you’re awfully insecure,” Nikolai said.
OOP CALL HIM OUT
He turned his keen gaze on Mal. “And that, Oretsev, is how you can be of use. As I recall, you rather charmed my crew, so perhaps you could pick up your bow and play the diplomat instead of the jealous lover.” “I’ll think about it.” “Good boy,” said Nikolai.
SMIRK :)
Mal paid her no attention, but a twisting feeling in my gut made me think he was ignoring her a little too deliberately.
Sideye... I hope so!
My cheeks went red, and Nikolai grinned. “You should see if the Corporalki can do something about that blush,”
Hell im blushing too
“Why are you so ready to attack him?” “Why are you so quick to defend him?”
Oop
“What could I say? And when? I barely see you anymore.” “I thought you wanted to go.” “I wanted you to ask me to stay.”
AH THAT HURTS
“It wasn’t because of you!” Mal laughed harshly. “I know you haven’t had much experience. But I’ve kissed enough girls to know what that means. Don’t worry. It won’t happen again.”
Ok fuck you good riddance
We do our best. We try. And usually, it makes no difference at all.
“I want to kiss you,” Nikolai said. “But I won’t. Not until you’re thinking of me instead of trying to forget him.”
Push her away, I begged silently. Push her away. And for a moment, I thought he might. But then his arms closed around her, and he kissed her back as the crowd hooted and cheered.
AHHHHHHHGGGGG NO HE DIDNT
“You have much better things to do with your time. Like getting drunk and shoving your tongue down Zoya’s throat.” “At least she doesn’t flinch when I touch her,” he spat.
Oh fuck you
I’d spent so many years wishing to be the kind of girl that Mal could want. Maybe that wasn’t possible anymore.
Nooooo my baby
I didn’t care that we’d fought, that he’d kissed Zoya, that he’d walked away from me, that everything felt so impossible.
NOOOOOOO TAKE IT BACK
“You know the problem with heroes and saints, Nikolai?” I asked as I closed the book’s cover and headed for the door. “They always end up dead.”
Oh...?
As we sprinted into the tunnel, I glanced back and saw Nikolai silhouetted against the purple twilight. I wondered if I’d ever see him again.
Dont say that!!!
“I have loved you all my life, Mal,” I whispered through my tears. “There is no end to our story.”
Throwing tomatoes!!
There was darkness inside me. He had put it there, and I would no longer deny it. The volcra, the nichevo’ya, they were my monsters, all of them. And he was my monster, too.
Ewwww what??? Cut the cameras
Mal was there, lying on another litter, carried along just a few feet beside me. He was watching me, as if he’d been waiting for me to wake. He reached out.
Nooooooooooooooo why isnt he dead?
