The Pucking Coach's Daughter Quotes

“I love in the same way Icarus must’ve yearned for the sun. So desperate to be close, to climb in someone else’s skin. To be fully seen and understood and accepted. It wasn’t that he wanted to escape—or maybe he did. Maybe he wanted to be engulfed by that feeling and forget reality. To leave behind the earth entirely. If the sun loved me, I wouldn’t hesitate to strap on wings and fly all the way across the universe. I’d open my arms and welcome the burn. It’s better than the alternative: cold, alone, empty. To the sun: Burn me up. Love me. Swallow me whole.”
― S. Massery, The Pucking Coach's Daughter

“You wear my necklace when he fucks you,” he says in my ear. “If you ever take it off, I’m going to solder it on.” My head falls back on his shoulder. “That’s fine,” I sigh. “Better to be sure the clasp won’t break.” Pause. His lips touch my cheek. “You’re fucking insane, princess. I think I might love it.”
