Kindle Notes & Highlights
"If friendship is the greatest lack you feel," he begins slowly, "then I would be honored to be your friend."
If she cannot go out and see this world, I will show it to her.
"You were thinking of me when you saw this?" "I always think of you." His voice grows in confidence and defiance.
“But she is the only one I wish to put my mouth on,” he tells the group. “Why else would I play this game?”
“I mean that you are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen,” Vordis murmurs. “I do not care that you have a child in your belly or that you cannot resonate. I know that my eyes have only ever seen you.”
"Because you are Angie and I am dedicated to you," he murmurs, and his thumb moves lightly again.
“Angie. My heart. Tell me what I can do to help.”
“You are strong and brave,” he reassures me. “You have been strong and brave ever since you arrived here. No other female could take all that you have been given.” His breath whispers against my ear. “Strength does not always mean fists, my heart. Sometimes it means waking up to endure another day.”
“There is no one for me but you, Angie.”
Vordis shakes his head. “I am a’ani. We are nothing to everyone.” “Not true. You’re everything to me,” I tell him softly.
All this time I have wanted to be my own person, and now I realize the truth of it. Being part of her whole is better than being all of myself.
