1 " Wait,” I called after him, hurrying to catch up. “You didn’t confirm that the water won’t kill me?” “I didn’t confirm that my dick won’t, either,” he called back over his shoulder. “Guess only time will tell. "

2 " I was struck by the truth that real friends, as rare as they were, could be recognized in how they encouraged us—either via words or actions—to be the best versions, the strongest versions of ourselves. And when we couldn’t be strong, they were there to pick us up and hold us together. "
3 " Heroes are limited because they always have to do the right thing. But villains aren’t restricted by their moral compasses. They will do literally anything and destroy anyone who tried to hurt those they love. I think, deep down, I’ve always considered myself a villain. In that way. "
4 " Women can do anything, especially when we stick together. I truly believe that. "
5 " Sure, we’d just made friends like toddlers in the park, but why did adults have to complicate everything? If you click with someone, be their friend. If they prove they’re not worthy of your friendship, bury their body and start again. "
6 " How is it that you still don’t understand the danger of putting a foreign object in your mouth?” Shadow asked with a shake of his head. “For all you know, the water here could kill you in an instant.” I gawked at him. “You didn’t say anything when I had your dick in my mouth. Where was your concern then? "
7 " Whoever did this is a fucking murderer,” I rumbled. “How could they?” Sam wasn’t laughing now. “Yep, a book murderer, and if we find them, I’ll help you bury the damn body.” She was dead serious, and I was right there with her. "
8 " A male of strength will get on his knees for his woman and know that it doesn’t lessen him in any way. "
9 " I spared no thought of the greater good, the concept not mine to claim. I was greedy in my love, and I would burn the fucking worlds to the ground to keep Mera with me. "
10 " leaving the rest of us to mourn in its wake. "
11 " then repaired and rebuilt my pack’s broken bodies, washing away burns and fixing fractured energy bases. I could do all of that, fight the phoenix and drown in grief, because I was a woman. We multitasked well. "
12 " I need to stop hiding and living a half-life. In doing that, I have to take risks. "
13 " When I left the bakery, I ate my pastry—which she hadn’t even charged me for because apparently I was the shit these days. Wandering into a few other stores, I dropped more questions, but all the answers were the same. I’d been with Torin over the past two months, getting our pack life back in order. Everything normal. No drama "
14 " Where was the lie? Torin had told me he loved me more than once, and I knew for a fact that he didn’t love anyone except his power and reflection. And maybe Jaxson, because… bros, man. "
15 " Nothing was the same without you. I didn’t know why, but I knew that I was missing something vital to my survival. I searched, and I destroyed. More than just the Solaris System. I stripped myself bare so I could build myself up again and find the fundamental part of my soul that was missing. Only you weren’t there. "
16 " Right or wrong, you and I exist together… or we don’t exist at all. "
