A Dance with the Fae Prince (Married to Magic, #2)

by Elise Kova

My whole life I’ve been a vessel, allowing others to fill me with their wants, needs, thoughts… There is so much of everyone else that there is no room left for me. And now, when I need something of my own creation to offer, I come up short.

Why is it that it is so much easier for me to process being treated like a thing than a person? How is it that the latter hurts more?”

“Because now you know this is how you should have been treated all along. Because you know that if one person sees you, respects you as they should, then there’s no excuse for anyone else not to. The fault does not lie—has never lain—with you, but rather the shortcomings of those you have been surrounded by. You were always worthy.”

You are worthy of that love, from me, from others, and from yourself.”
