“I’m thinking that I was a lonely, hopeless person, and I might have fallen in love with the first thing that showed me a hint of kindness and safety. And I’m thinking maybe he knew that—maybe not actively, but maybe he wanted to be that person for someone. And maybe that worked for who I was before. Maybe it doesn’t work for who—what I am now.”
His hands slid down to cup the backs of my knees as he said with a roguish grin, “You are my salvation, Feyre.”
“There are good days and hard days for me—even now. Don’t let the hard days win.”
“What got under my skin,” Rhys said, his breathing a bit uneven, “is that you smiled at him.”
Rhys clinked his glass against mine. “To the stars who listen—and the dreams that are answered.”
I did not mind stepping out of the shadows, did not mind even being in the shadows to begin with, so long as he was with me.
“When you spend so long trapped in darkness, Lucien, you find that the darkness begins to stare back.”
“I love it when you look at me like that.” The purr in his voice heated my blood. “Like what?” “Like my power isn’t something to run from. Like you see me.”
There you are. I’ve been looking for you. His first words to me—not a lie at all, not a threat to keep those faeries away. Thank you for finding her for me.
I knew I was in love with you that moment I picked up the knife to kill Amarantha.
“And now I want you to know, Rhysand, that I love you. I want you to know … ” His lips trembled, and I brushed away the tear that escaped down his cheek. “I want you to know,” I whispered, “that I am broken and healing, but every piece of my heart belongs to you. And I am honored—honored to be your mate.”
“I love you,” I said again. I hadn’t dared say the words in my head. “And I’d endure every second of it over again so I could find you. And if war comes, we’ll face it. Together. I won’t let them take me from you. And I won’t let them take you from me, either.”
Even if every assassin in the world hunts us … It’s worth it. You are worth it.”
“You’re the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. I thought that from the first moment I saw you
I was the nightmare.
“You and this city helped wake me up—helped bring me back to life.” His eyes flickered as I smiled up at him. “I will fight with everything I have, too, Rhys. Everything.”
