61 " That wasn’t living. That was surviving. Besides, without . . . all of this”—she gestured around us—“who am I?” The urge to seize her had been overwhelming. Instead, I’d leaned low—until we were eye to eye and nose to nose—and said fiercely, “You are everything. "

62 " A snake,” I replied, breath hitching. “I suppose . . . I’m a snake. A liar. A deceiver. Cursed to crawl on my belly and eat dust all the days of my life. "
63 " Helpless to do anything but cling to Lou. My friend. My shelter. My home. "
64 " Allow me to fill in the gaps for you.” I kissed his nose. “You are a huntsman.” Though he recoiled slightly, I didn’t let him escape, kissing his cheek. “You are a son.” I kissed his other cheek. “You are a brother.” His forehead. “You are a husband.” His eyelids and his chin. “You are brave and strong and good.” And, finally, his lips. “But most important, you are loved. "
65 " You’re also sanctimonious and stubborn and short-tempered.” His eyes flicked open, and he frowned. I kissed his lips again. Gentle and slow. “Not to mention brooding, with a shit sense of humor.” When he opened his mouth to argue, I spoke over him. “But despite all that, you aren’t alone, Reid. You’ll never be alone. "
66 " You stole from my son?” Reid held out a calming hand. “Easy. She didn’t steal anything from—” “He’s my husband. "
67 " ...seni sevdiğimi bilmeni istiyorum. Hiçbir şey bunu değiştiremez. Ve eğer bugün ölürsen, seni öbür dünyada bulacak ve beni terk ettiğin için kıçını tekmeleyeceğim. Anladın mı? "

68 " I loved her. Despite everything. Despite the lies, the betrayal, the hurt. Despite the Archbishop and Morgane le Blanc. Despite my own brothers. I don't know if she returned that love, and I didn't care. If she was destined to burn in Hell, I would burn with her. "

69 " I was no one's sacrifice. Not then. Not now. Not ever. "
70 " There are some things that can't be changed with words. Some things have to be seen. They have to be felt. "
71 " Do not urge me to leave you or turn back from you.’” He trailed his fingers down my arm in slow, torturous strokes. My head fell back on his shoulder, my eyes fluttering closed, as his lips continued to move against my neck. “‘Where you go, I will go. Where you stay, I will stay. "
72 " Love makes fools of us all, darling. "
73 " Why the fuck is everyone in this kingdom trying to murder my wife? "
74 " Our lives reflect our hearts. "
75 " Death couldn't take him away from me. He was me. Our souls were bound. "
76 " Maybe men can learn a thing or two from women. "
77 " Such a love was not something of just the heart and mind. It wasn't something to be felt and eventually forgotten, to be touched without it in return touching you. No . . . this love was something else. Something irrevocable. It was something of the soul. "
78 " Where you go, I will go. Where you stay, I will stay. "
79 " I-I've never seen anyone savor anything the way you do everything. You make me feel alive. Just being in your presence - it's addictive. You're addictive. It doesn't matter you're a witch. The way you see the world . . . I want to see it that way too. I want to be with you always, Lou. I never want to be parted from you again. "
80 " You're to be my wife." Catching up to her in two strides, I reached out to grab her arm, but stopped short of touching her. "That means you'll obey me.""Does it?" She raised her brows, still grinning. " I suppose that means you'll honor and protect me, then? If we're adhering to the dusty old roles of your patriarchy?"I shortened my pace to match hers. "Yes."She clapped her hands together. "Excellent. At least this will be entertaining. I have many enemies. "
