“She stepped onto the bridge. […] she did not turn around. If she did– if she felt that invisible tether between them snap taunt calling her back to his side– she might just change her mind.”

STAR CROSSED LOVERS 💔 separated by seasons 😭😭

“A love like theirs was ruinous.”

“I would risk anything, everything, to protect you. Do you understand? I love you Milori. It scares me too much.” “I love you too” he said miserably.”

“They crashed together and his mouth was on hers with a desperation that left her breathless. She met him with equal fervor. […] He leaned gis forehead against hers and cradled her face with his hands”

💔🥹

“Its broken” […] “Milori…im so sorry.” “Clarion” he said with some iron in his voice. “I dont regret what ive done nor do i blame you for what happened. Id do it again if given the opportunity.”

“She loved him. Perhaps she was always bound to from the very moment she saw him standing on the border.”

“Elvina enfolded Clarion in her arms and let her weep in her lap like a child.”

“You stole my owl” he said with a touch of amusement. “Who else but the queen would dare do such a thing.” […] “To be clear she let me steal her”

“She took hold of his arm and pulled him down on the ice beside her. […] Clarion traced his jawline with the tips of her fingers. She leaned over him, her hair spilling over her shoulders […]”

“I want you on my court […] as the Lord of Winter.”

Clarion teleported to go face the queen of Nightmares under the lake alone

“When she closed her eyes burned there was the memory of his wings wilting as they dripped onto the floorboards of the clinic. The devotion and agony knotted together in his voice when he told her, i cant lose you.”

“When i saw you rise from that star i think i understood something of what mothers must feel. I wanted to protect you”

“I needed to know if shell be alright.” Elvina made a sound […] “return to Winter before its too late.” […] “Thank you.” She did not need to clarify. “Shed do the same for me” Milori said. […] “Shes worth protecting.”

Chap 21-22 ❤️: the backstory of Miloris broken wings 💔💔

“Be angry if you must but i cant lose you.”

“[his wings] were folded against his back but they seemed to be wilting. No she thought. Melting.”

“Go” Clarion whispered “please.” He looked stricken. “I cant.” He knelt at her bedside. “Not yet.” Worried abt his girl 💔

He chose her over his wings. He was determined to save her. 💔😭

“Then ill do what i must.” “Milori.” Yarrow said warningly. “I understand the cost.”

“Anything in her power to give was his.”

“How beautiful to see the exact moment he fell inlove with her.”

“Your wings.” Her voice was thick with emotion. […] “Clarion” he said her name like a plea. “Weighed against your life they are nothing to me.”

Hes sacrificing his wings to save her life 😭

“She cupped his jaw smearing away the blood that had welled up with her thumb. “Are you alright?” “I am.” Milori replied. His eyes roved over her searching her for injuries. He apparently found none for she saw dome of the tension drain from him.”

All Clarion could latch on to was this: “You lied to Edwina?”

“We both believed in you.” She slid her gaze pointedly to Petra “Even when we were worried about you.”

They both followed her in Winter to help her and Petra even lied to the queen 🥺

Edwina advanced toward her. […] “He’s already turned you against me.” “No you have turned me against you!” Clarion standing up for herself 🥳
