To Flame a Wild Flower (Crystal Bloom, #3)

by Sarah A. Parker

“I know the hurt is loud, but it won’t always be.” He holds my hands, like they’re butterflies caught in a warm hug. “One day it’ll stop screaming at you. It’ll become nothing more than a whisper.”

“I bow to no one, but I’ll get down on my knees before the Gods and beg you to choose this. To live.”

“Because I refuse to live in a world where you don’t exist.”
