    Leigh Bardugo
    “You never know," said Nikolai. "I've been busy. I might have some surprises in store for the Darkling yet."

    "Well, now you've ruined the surprise.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Ruin and Rising

    Leigh Bardugo
    “It's probably for the best, I told myself. How would I have said goodbye to Mal anyway? Thanks for being my best friend and making my life bearable. Oh, and sorry I fell in love with you for a while there. Make sure to write!
    'What are you smiling at?'
    I whirled, peering into the gloom. The Darkling's voice seemed to float out of the shadows. He walked down to the stream, crouching on the bank to splash water on his face and through his dark hair.
    'Well?' he asked, looking up at me.
    'Myself,' I admitted.
    'Are you that funny?'
    'I'm hilarious.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Shadow and Bone

    Heather Dixon Wallwork
    “Mr. Bradford," she said. "I'm not going to propose to you."

    The twinkle in Mr. Bradford's eyes faded. So did his smile. He managed to keep it on his face. It looked painful.

    "Oh," he said.

    "Mr. Bradford?"

    "Yes?"

    "Would you mind it so very much if...you know...you proposed to me?"

    The light in Mr. Bradford's eyes jumped to life. He beamed so largely it almost wasn't crooked.

    "If you want.”
    Heather Dixon, Entwined

    Leigh Bardugo
    “Alina, I'll be back to fetch you for dinner, but should you grow restless, do feel free to run screaming from the room or take a dagger to her. Whatever seems most fitting at the time."

    "Are you still here?" snapped Baghra.

    "I go but hope to remain in your heart," he said solemnly. Then he winked and disappeared.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Ruin and Rising

    “And you," she spat in Nikolai's direction. "Go somewhere you're wanted."

    "That's hardly limiting," he said.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Ruin and Rising

    Marissa Meyer
    “I knew they would kill me when they found out, but…” He struggled for words, releasing a sharp breath. “I think I realized that I would rather die because I betrayed them, than live because I betrayed you.”
    Marissa Meyer, Scarlet

    Kiera Cass
    “He sighed contentedly. “How are you feeling, my dear?”

    “I feel like punching you for calling me ‘my dear’ mostly.” I poked his bare stomach.

    Smiling, he crawled to sit over me. “Fine then. My darling? My pet? My love?”

    “Any of those would work, so long as you’ve reserved it solely for me,” I said, my hands mindlessly wandering his chest, his arms. “What am I supposed to call you?”

    “Your Royal Husbandness. It’s required by law, I’m afraid.”
    Kiera Cass, The One

  • #11
    Leigh Bardugo
    “Do good works or commission an opera house or just take it out and gaze at it longingly when you think of the handsome prince you might have made your own. For the record, I favor the latter option, preferably paired with copious tears and the recitation of bad poetry.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Ruin and Rising

  • #12
    Stephenie Meyer
    “It is a strange world," I murmered, more to myself than to the native soul.
    "The strangest," he agreed.”
    Stephenie Meyer, The Host

  • #13
    Eoin Colfer
    “Of course I saved you," she said. "I couldn't do without you." And because she was happy and flushed with magic, Holly leaned down and kissed Artemis, magic sparking around the contact like tiny fireworks.”
    Eoin Colfer, The Time Paradox

    Eoin Colfer
    “Careful, Mr. Spiro, guns are dangerous. Especially the end with the hole.”

    Stephenie Meyer
    “It’s not fair!” Sunny wailed. “Why do you get to stay? Why can’t I stay, if you can?”

    I had to swallow hard. “That wouldn’t be fair, would it? But I don’t get to stay, Sunny. I have to go, too. And soon. Maybe we’ll leave together.” Perhaps she’d be happier if she thought I was going to the Dolphins with her. By the time she knew otherwise, Sunny would have a different host with different emotions and no tie to this human beside me. Maybe. Anyway, it would be too late. “I have to go, Sunny, just like you. I have to give my body back, too.”

    And then, flat and hard from right behind us, Ian’s voice broke through the quiet like the crack of a whip.

    ”What?”
    Stephenie Meyer, The Host

    “He's around the twist,' said Azalea. 'Breaking all the windows? He's mad.'
    'Ah, no,' said the King. 'It's only madness if you actually do it. If you want to break all the windows in the house and drown yourself in a bucket but don't actually do it, well, that's love.”
    Heather Dixon, Entwined

    Leigh Bardugo
    “You’re shaking,” he said.
    “I’m not used to people trying to kill me.”
    “Really? I hardly notice anymore.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Shadow and Bone

    Leigh Bardugo
    “I saw the prince when I was in Os Alta,” said Ekaterina. “He’s not bad looking.”
    “Not bad looking?” said another voice. “He’s damnably handsome.”
    Luchenko scowled. “Since when—”
    “Brave in battle, smart as a whip.” Now the voice seemed to be coming from above us. Luchenko craned his neck, peering into the trees. “An excellent dancer,” said the voice. “Oh, and an even better shot.”
    “Who—” Luchenko never got to finish. A blast rang out, and a tiny black hole appeared between his eyes.
    I gasped. “Imposs—”
    “Don’t say it,” muttered Mal.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Ruin and Rising

    Leigh Bardugo
    “I may not have been completely honest about that."
    "You? Less than truthful? I'm shocked, Nikolai. Shocked and horrified.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Siege and Storm

  • #23
    Leigh Bardugo
    “I shouldn't have lost my temper that way. It just pricks his pride, makes him dig in his heels."
    "So why did you?" I asked, genuinely curious. It was rare for Nikolai's emotions to get the best of him.
    "I don't know," he said, shredding the leaf. "You got angry. I got angry. The room was too damn hot."
    "I don't think that's it."
    "Indigestion?" he offered.
    "It's because you actually care about what happens to this country," I said. "The throne is just a prize to Vasily, something he wants to squabble over like a favorite toy, You're not like that. You'll make a good king."
    Nikolai froze. "I…" For once, words seemed to have deserted him. Then a crooked, embarrassed smile crept across his face. It was a far cry from his usual self-assured grin. "Thank you," he said.
    I sighed as we resumed our pace. "You're going to be insufferable now, aren't you?"
    Nikolai laughed. "I'm already insufferable.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Siege and Storm

    Leigh Bardugo
    “I hope you weren’t looking to me to be the voice of reason. I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Ruin and Rising

    Leigh Bardugo
    “You'll still make a great king."

    "Of course I will," he scoffed. "I'm melancholy, not daft.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Ruin and Rising

    Marissa Meyer
    “Captain?"
    "Yeah?"
    "Do you think it was destiny that brought us together?"
    He squinted and, after a thoughtful moment, shook his head. "No. I'm pretty sure it was Cinder.”
    Marissa Meyer, Cress

    Marissa Meyer
    “I don’t see that her being cyborg is relevant.”
    Marissa Meyer, Scarlet

  • #28
    Marissa Meyer
    “All right, Miss Cryptic. What's the new plan, then?"
    Glancing around the room, Cinder tipped up her chin. "It starts with kidnapping the groom."
    Iko's hand shot into the air.
    "Yes, Iko?"
    "That is the best idea ever. Count me in.”
    Marissa Meyer, Cress

  • #29
    Marissa Meyer
    “He froze, becoming stone still. As the hover climbed the hill to the palace, his shoulders sank, and he returned his gaze to the window. "She's my alpha," he murmured, with a haunting sadness in his voice.

    Alpha.

    Cress leaned forward, propping her elbows on her knees, "Like the star?"

    "What star?"

    She stiffened, instantly embarrassed, and scooted back from him again. "Oh. Um. In a constellation, the brightest star is called the alpha. I thought maybe you meant that she's...like...your brightest star." Looking away, she knotted her hands in her lap, aware that she was blushing furiously now and this beast of a man was about to realize what an over-romantic sap she was.

    But instead of sneering or laughing, Wolf sighed, "Yes," he said, his gaze climbing up to the full moon that had emerged in the blue evening sky. "Exactly like that.”
    Marissa Meyer, Cress

    Marissa Meyer
    “It's all right," said Wolf. "You loved her. I would feel the same if someone wanted to erase Scarlet's identity and give it to Levana's army.

    Scarlet stiffened, heat rushing into her cheeks. He certainly wasn't insinuating . . .

    "Aaaaw," squealed Iko. "Did Wolf just say that he loves Scarlet? That's so cute!"

    Scarlet cringed. "He did not--that wasn't--" She balled her fists against her sides. "Can we get back to these soldiers that are being rounded up, please?"

    "Is she blushing? She sounds like she's blushing."

    "She's blushing," Thorne confirmed, shuffling the cards. "Actually, Wolf is also looking a little flustered--”
    marissa meyer, Cress
