Talon (Ashes & Embers, #4)

by Carian Cole

I asked to have the words laugh with me, love with me inscribed into his. Mine has no beginning, no end, just now inscribed.

"It's hard to shine when you're surrounded by stars, baby. I don't get noticed much. They just take what I write." "Then don't be a star, Talon. Be the moon. Shine above all of them."

I tell myself she whispered the words I've been hoping to hear. Hope seems to be all I have to hang on to right now. Hope really does die last.
