1 " It hurts, to be parted from him. I ache… ache for him. To see his smile, and hear his laughter. I can scarce breathe from the hole in my heart. "
― Sasha Summers , For the Love of Hades (Loves of Olympus, #2)
2 " If she is truly yours, I cannot take her from you. "
3 " Time had passed, yet her heart held onto him. She did not draw breath without thinking of him. She did not dream without feeling his presence at her side. His voice, in memory, was sweeter than any she’d heard. And she did not want to be without him. "
4 " -Such words… such feelings are fleeting…-If they fade, it was never love. "
5 " -I know there were wars in my time, but none so wasteful as this.-War is always wasteful. "
6 " Why? You don’t ask after him, or speak of him. You don’t want to see–”“No,” she spoke quickly, scowling at him. “Why would I want to see him? Why would I want to be reminded of such joy, only to know it was gone forever?” She blinked back tears before they could betray her. “I would not look on him. Not ever again.” Her heart twisted, refuting every word she’d uttered. "
7 " Time had stopped, or so it seemed. Every day was like the one before it, with little of note or consequence.Each night Persephone slept on her white furs and finely sewn blankets, dreaming of him. Each morning she’d rise with the sun, grief-stricken when sleep refused to linger just a moment longer… And once again she was without him. And his absence weighed upon her most heavily. "
8 " It is no passing fancy. My heart is yours. "
9 " What would it be like to have someone so devoted? That they would travel into the Land of the Dead, to plead for your release or one last glimpse of your face? "
10 " -His heart is hard.-She shook her head.-No? Hermes’ brows rose.-Guarded, yes. But not hard. "
11 " I have no wish to… torment him with my … affection. But I do… I am, most fond of him. "
12 " You have lost your smile. "
13 " Recover? She clasped her hands in her lap, staring at them as pain welled up in her chest. Could one recover from a broken heart "
14 " You seem to fade every day. "
15 " What evil lies in the hearts of some? I cannot fathom it. "
16 " Her heart suffers "
17 " Because I love you.” Her voice broke. “And though I tried every day not to think of you or look for you… or miss you, I accept my fate. I cannot be without you. "
18 " There is nothing I want more… than to be with you. "
19 " My words may not … adequately express the love I have for this woman. "
20 " Angry?” he asked, moving closer to her. She scowled and stepped back. “Yes… very angry.” “You came here? To tell me that? "
