Carve My Heart Quotes

“I thought winning would fix everything.
I thought gold would make it all worth it. The pressure, the headlines, the chaos. The kiss.
I thought wanting her was enough.
She looked at me like I’d broken something. Like I’d dragged her into a spotlight she never asked for.
But what was I supposed to do? Hide it? Pretend we were nothing?
I brought her everything. My victory. My name. That moment. It was the most precious thing I’ve ever held, and I gave it to her like a fucking gift.
Like a hero in a story, dropping the head of a dragon at the princess’s feet — expecting her to kiss me, to thank me, to understand.
But she just recoiled. Like all she saw was the blood and the teeth and the mess.
What a fucked-up fairy tale.”
