“Remember, it’s only a game.”
wdym. i just told my friends the entire plot and then
"remember, it's only a game"
🥲
Not quite sure how far she’d already fallen, she imagined loving him would feel like falling in love with darkness, frightening and consuming yet utterly beautiful when the stars came out.

“I lied about how I got bashed in the head,” he mumbled. “I wanted you to have your earrings back. But the man was tougher than he looked. … I got into a little trouble. But it was worth it to see your face. …” A ghost of a smile moved his lips. “I should have stayed away from you … but I really wanted you to succeed. … I wanted to—”
GASP he wanted to see her happy GASP
A sliver of a grin. ‘Not even Legend could make me dress like a unicorn.’ ‘But unicorns are magical, and then all the ladies would want to pet you.’

‘Relax,’ he repeated. ‘The only thing you should think about is that you’re more desirable than anyone else in this room. Every person here wishes they were you.’ ‘You’re definitely giving yourself too much credit now.’ His laughter was surprisingly disarming. ‘Then tell yourself everyone wishes they were me, dancing with you.’
no one gives jacks enough credit for being this sweet, so he gotta give himself some credit. :)
‘The key to a charade like this is to forget it’s an act. Invite the lie to play until you become so comfortable with it that it feels like the truth. Don’t tell yourself we’re pretending to be engaged, tell yourself that I love you. That I want you more than anyone.’

WAIT WHAT "tell yourself that ily"
HEY IS THAT A CONFESSION I HEAR
He reeled her closer and ran a hand up the back of her neck, toying with the ribbon around her throat. ‘If you can convince yourself it’s true, you can convince anyone.’

‘But that’s a tale for another time,’
gather around for a tale told by 498 yo grandpa jacks
Until then, my love, try not to die.’ Jacks blew Tella a kiss as she stepped out into the biting night.
way to be literal <3
Tella was the sister who would destroy the world if anything happened to Scarlett, but Scarlett’s world would be destroyed if anything happened to Tella.
noooo
im more of a romance cutesy scene person, but idk this sentence absolutely broke me. like omg.
bro became blue with shyness 😁
After a heartbeat he added a lopsided grin, no doubt to make the empress believe that even though he was shy, he appreciated her attentions.
awwwww
if jacks' was like completely human, i feel like he would be a grandma-and-her-cats kinda person
‘Would you like my help?’ Dante dropped his hand to her hips. Tella’s breathing hitched. ‘No. I don’t want your help … I want you.’
oh
yeah uhm.
uhm.

Tella claimed she didn’t want love – she liked to say love trapped and controlled and ripped hearts apart. But the truth was she also knew love healed and held people together, and deep down she wanted it more than anything.
our girl rethinking her life choices
‘Not everyone gets a true ending. There are two types of endings because most people give up at the part of the story where things are the worst, where the situation feels hopeless. But that’s when hope is needed most. Only those who persevere can find their true ending.’
what wise words
Occasionally, there are minutes that get extra seconds. Moments so precious the universe stretches to make additional room for them,
does anyone else think that the highlight below is one of those moments
‘It’s all right, I’ve got you.’
yeah this one. pulchritudinous.
‘This is my choice, and I choose you, Donatella. I don’t need immortality. You’re my forever.’
its always "ily" and not "timc,aicy,d. idniymf"
like imagine someone saying that to you <3
