“Fuck, that stubborn, feisty look always makes me want to kiss you.”
“And you say this now, where people will see if you actually do.”
“When did I ever give you the impression that I give a fuck what people think about me?”
― Rebecca Yarros, Fourth Wing

“Have you always been this tall?' I blurt the first thing that comes to mind.

― Rebecca Yarros, Fourth Wing

“Did you love him?” he repeats. “Holy shit.” My hands fall from his jacket. “You’re actually jealous.” “Yes, love, I’m jealous.” He splays his hand over the small of my back and tugs me toward him. “I’m jealous of the armor that holds you when I can’t, the sheets on your bed that caress your skin every night, and the blades that feel your hands. So, when the prince of our realm walks into my classroom and starts talking to the woman I love with what can only be considered intense familiarity, and then has the audacity to ask her out right in front of me, naturally, I’m going to get jealous.” He brings our bodies flush.”
