“Can we hug you?” Cecelia nodded, and the two women — two strangers who were bonded to her by horror alone — wrapped her in a cocoon of their arms.” 😭😭😭

“It’s not nothing. Any time a man puts his hands on you unwelcome is not nothing. Any time a man makes you feel afraid of what might happen and you would be powerless to stop him is not nothing.” 😞

Ugh…he’s going to feel the bond and not know what it is 😭😭😭 it keeps getting worse

It feels unfathomable to introduce a villain worse than Cato…but here we are…with Vincent. I am numb.

…I would know the scent of you on the wind and the way it’s stitched to every memory of love in my life. And I would even know the absence of you if we’d never met, like a dark night sky aching for the shine of stars. I will always know you, Cecelia.”

“I would know you even if battle blinded me. I would know by the way you quiet the rest of the world to a hum, by the breath you take before you speak and the way you hold it when you’re trying not to cry…

“You’ve told me memory is more than just the mind. It lives in the body, the emotions. I won’t forget me bc I won’t forget you. I crescent promise. Do you really think my heart could forget you when you’ve been wrapped around it for more than half my life? Do you think I wouldn’t feel you the moment you’re close to me? I could never forget you. You and I are infinite.” ~ that last line…omfg 💔

For the love of God…now I understand Rainer’s dad’s story line in all this…fucking hell. Erasing all memories of Cece is wiping all the memories that makes him him…the man we’ve come to love…he’ll only he left with formative memories given to him by his father who is fucking AWFUL. Oh idk how I’m going to endure this.

“Sweetheart, it’s going to be okay.” The words meant nothing. Everything was already so wrong. “

“Cece, I could never forget you. You have my whole heart.”

Omfg I could just DIE!!!

OMFG…IS THIS REALLY HAPPENING?!?
