Fated to the Phantom Quotes

“I am her male. Her mate. There is no way for me to earn coin myself without breaking the duke’s first law, so I would provide for her in other ways. I shall give her pleasure, then gratefully eat the meals she creates. I shall make it so that her jingly bits of metals—her keys—and her foot coverings—her slippers—do not get lost, and she will bring happiness to my life just by existing.”

“I never knew what exactly it was. Until I saw from Hope’s ‘movie’ about a flying human child that a ‘kiss’ is one of those small nuts that fall from those verdant trees so different from the ash trees back in Sombra.
...if Duke Haures pleases his mate by giving her a ‘kiss’, I will give my beloved Hope hundreds. I spend hours gathering ‘kisses’ for Hope every evening, when the shadows fall and the brightness of the human sun doesn’t weaken me. I can only use my essence to move those that she’s stepped on as she leaves her quarters, but while I can pass through her door, the acorns cannot. So I leave them just outside, waiting for her to see them and know that it’s a sign of affection from her male.”

“My Hope tends to misplace some of her trinkets. Once I’ve seen where she keeps them, I try to move them back. Those jingling bits of metal belong on the hook by the door to her home, while her favored foot coverings must stay together. And the ‘mote’ she’s always searching for… to see her smile when she finds it on the edge of her chair where I placed it for her makes my chest swell with pride.”
