“Love is thinking about someone all day and dreaming about them at night, missing them so much it scrapes your insides. Feeling like a whole person when you're together, like you can leap over the ocean and then some. Them looking at you like you're the best thing that ever graced the globe, making you want to be exactly that. Love is somebody you never knew you were missing until the day you meet.”

Him deserve me? I hadn't heard correctly. My head was too light to get a grasp on any of this.

You've changed me, Laney Garrow. You opened my eyes long before those pirates came. And then they made me a prisoner, and I thought I was alone in the world, but you jumped through that window...well, it made me decide something. If we do survive this, my first act as king will be to rescind my father's Edict. I don't know much about ruling a country, but I do refuse to become a monster. Women like you deserve as much freedom in this world as any man. I won't be the one to take it away.”
