“Aelin took a step forward.
One step, as if in a daze.
She loosed a shuddering breath, and a small, whimpering noise came out of her - a sob.
And then she was sprinting down the alley, flying as though the winds themselves pushed at her heels.
She flung herself on the male, crashing into him hard enough that anyone else might have gone rocking back into the stone wall.
But the male grabbed her to him, his massive arms wrapping around her tightly and lifting her up. Nesryn made to approach, but Aedion stopped her with a hand on her arm.
Aelin was laughing as she cried, and the male was just holding her, his hooded head buried in her neck. As if he were breathing her in.
"Who is that?" Nesryn asked.
Aedion smiled. "Rowan.”

― Caroline Peckham, Sorrow and Starlight

“Bryce sobbed, "I bought you, and now I set you free, Lehabah."
Lehaba's smile didn't falter. "I know," she said. "I peeked in your drawer."
And despite the monster trying to break loose behind them, Bryce choked on a laugh before she begged, "You are a free person- you do not have to do this. You are free, Lehabah."
Yet Lehabah remained at the foot of the stairs. "Then let it be known that my first act of freedom was to help my friends.”
― Sarah J. Maas, House of Earth and Blood
