1 " ...staying means nothing if I don’t have the choice to go. "
― Kati Wilde , Beauty in Spring (Beauty, #1)
2 " I vowed to marry you. What kind of man would ever look at another? "
3 " Trapped by an innocent gift, given with the purest intentions.Now my vow to marry her will destroy either her or me. "
4 " The beast, returning from his hunts bloodied and sated with raw meat, yet still searching for what he knew was missing. Because he had memories of her, too, my memories of her in every room. And he had torn each chamber apart in his frustration when he could never find her. "
5 " I would stay. But staying means nothing if I don’t have the choice to go, and although the gates are open, the chain still would not allow me to pass through them. So he has to release me first.But I’m beginning to think he never will. "
6 " Gideon has lost far too much, and he’s spent years desperately trying to hold on to memories of a happier time.Now he’s holding on to me instead of setting me free—as if he’s afraid of losing me again.Does he truly not know that I wouldn’t go? That this is my home, has always been my home, and my place has always been at his side?I just want to be free. Not free of him. "
7 " I love you, Gideon. "
8 " I do, racing for our bedchamber—and I know he gives me a head start. Just as he often used to when we raced as children. But he doesn’t let me win. "
9 " I have only thought of you, Cora. Never another woman.” Her breath catches. “Never?” It shouldn’t even be a question. “I vowed to marry you. What kind of man would ever look at another? "
