The Witch's Curse Quotes

“I said, “But I am, Samuel. I am cursed. You’ve seen my mother. You know that is my destiny.”
“I know,” he said. “But Magda? Look up at the stars one last time before this night becomes day.”
I turned and felt the world below me drift away until the only thing I saw was a vast ocean of night and stars and moon.
Samuel’s lips touched my neck, softly.
He whispered, “The stars shine so brightly before they die, Magda. And even after they blink away, we can still see them. Stars don’t fade like people do. In ways, they are forever pieces of an infinite sky. We are the same, Magda. You are my star, and I am yours. There might be a piece of our forever that we cannot see, but we must believe it’s there, waiting at the end.”

“Standing at the edge of the dark forest, he kissed me.
The forest shook, trembled. Where snow touched the trees, white flecks rose into the air and danced on the hands of the wind. Branches waved. Trees swayed, bending to almost break.
Or maybe it was me, us. Maybe it was us moving while the rest of the world stood still.”

“Those words.
Samuel’s thirteen words became heartbeats-
became my reasons to breathe in-
and out of that moment.
More than blood, I wanted him.
I whispered, “Why did you want to know my name?”
“Because my heart needed a name to beat to.”
I grinned. “Is your heart always so delirious?”
“Would it be a heart if it was anything else?”
