Kindle Notes & Highlights
“I have learned many things in my many years, young prince, but something I learned early on is that my feet decide which path I take. No one else’s.” “I am not sure I am afforded such a luxury,” Callan muttered under his breath. A cunning smirk curled up on her lips. “You misunderstand me, your Highness. Many have tried to direct my path. That was their mistake.”
“You made a choice, young queen. Now you lift your chin and handle the consequences, whatever they may be. You do not look back, only forward.”
“I do not want a life without you in it. If the choice is a life without you or death at your side, I choose death, Scarlett. I choose wherever you are. If that means we are ashes in the voids between stars, then that is what I choose because I am with you. I am giving you my life. Let me give that to you,” he begged. “Choose that. Choose doing this together. That is what I want you to choose.”
“No one said this would be easy, Scarlett. It is not a choice you make once. It is a choice we must make every day. Over and over again. Even on the hard days. Even on the days we want to throttle each other.”
“We are a family. We choose each other. We claim each other. We challenge each other, push each other, listen to each other. But it only works because we trust each other. And when we do not do those things? That is when we break. That is when unnecessary tragedy is allowed to bloom.”
