“Only you.”
“A sight so precious could never be anything less than exquisite.”
“You’ve never been filled before, have you, belle muse?”
“No. Never. You’re the one I want first.”
“This is your only warning, Scarlett. I won’t settle for ‘first.’ I’ll be yo...

“Your words don’t scare me, Sol. Neither do you.”
“Then you won’t mind if I make you scream.”
“Yes, sing for me, my sweet angel. Sing.”
What I have with Scarlett will always be shrouded in darkness, no matter how much I wish to go into the light with her. Phantoms don’t survive in the light.
“You are my moonlight,”
“And you are my midnight,”
She is my sweet angel and I am her selfish demon.
“As far as I’m concerned, there’s never been anyone but you, Scarlett. No one before you mattered.”
La vie est une grande mascarade, alors laissez les bons temps rouler.
“Life is one big masquerade, so let the good times roll.”
“I’ll make you sing for me, my angel, my pretty little muse. I’ll make you understand the demon I truly am. Then we’ll see if you still want to run away from me.”
I am his angel, he is my demon of music, and all I want to do right now is sing for him.
“Your demon loves it when you beg for him, mon amour.”
“Why do you insist on hating me, Scarlett? Why do you insist on seeing me as the enemy when all I’ve done is protect you?”
“Not protect me.”
“You manipula...

“You’re not in love with me. You’re obsessed with me,”
“There’s a difference.”
“There might be a difference, but that doesn’t mean I can’t be both. You’ve been in theater for years, so you know. Obsessi...

“It’s up to you to decide which story is ours,”
“If you stay, I promise to give you the best love story ever told, every day, for the rest of our lives. I was forced into the shadows, and I’ve made my home here. But I’ve only ever wanted to share a life with someone. Like my parents shared. The kind of love that consumes you in life and leaves you a shell when the other goes too soon.
I want one love that survives this lifetime.”
“What you’re describing is madness, Sol.”
“Is madness so terrible, when euphoria is on ...

Our time together was like a match held between two fingers, effortless to light, glorious in the darkness, and painful when it was snuffed out in my grasp. It doesn’t matter how long we burned together, I still can’t alleviate this sting under my skin.
“You wanted to know why I started to follow you? It’s because I saw your darkness that night, Scarlett. Your darkness called to mine. My life was pitch black before you. You were the moonlight to my midnight.”
“Listen, pretty muse. Listen to the song my heart beats for you and admit you know its rhythm.”
“Who the fuck hurt you, little muse?”
Your light, your darkness, your passion… you have consumed me every moment. You became more than an obsession. You became everything.
I am Sol Bordeaux’s, and I can never be free. And I’ve finally accepted that I don’t want to be.
I’m living the life I’ve always dreamed of. Where happiness is just happiness and his darkness sings to mine. I am his muse, and he is mine. My Phantom of the French Quarter. My demon of music.
