This one trembles. "

6 " The bed is warmer tonight. Warmer than it's ever been and stranger. But easier, too. Lucien catches me looking at him on the pillows, and he smirks.

"You have my permission to stare at me all night."

"And why would I do that?" I fire off a half-downy mumble. "I've already memorized everything on you."

"Well." His smirk grows unmanageable. "Not everything."

Since when is he the one who seduces, instead of me? My face fills red.

"Princes aren't supposed to have roguish manners."

"And ladies aren't supposed to sleep in beds with unmarried men."

"Only married men, then."

He hefts up on one elbow, tracing my hand under the covers. "What are you implying, Lady Zera?"

"Go. To. Sleep." I pause. "Your Highness."

The kiss comes, as I knew it would, breathless and enmeshed in each other, and I'm the first one to pull away and the only one to roll over in faux grumpiness. Lucien's laugh rumbling the mattress.

I try to sleep--try so hard to play at being a human as he is--but I fade in and out, waking up in the odd hours to reach over and feel that he's still there. Still real.

Still with me, despite everything.

Despite how many mistakes I've made. "

7 " It's still hard, to accept his love at the drop of a hat, without doublethinking or flinching away. Maybe it'll always be hard. But at the very least, I'm trying. I'm trying to make it work, this time, instead of running away. "

8 " The little room has a slot for a window, the bright sunlight squaring through no bigger than a peg. I stand on my tiptoes to see out of it, and feel a support beneath me as Lucien picks me up by the waist with his broad hands and lifts.

He smirks up at me, "Is that any better?"

"A little." I feign disinterest, peering through the window. "

9 " Lucien ignores her and pulls me flush to him, my waist against his, my forehead against his. Malachite makes a discontented noise and struggles to face his chair away in the small room, "

― Sara Wolf , Send Me Their Souls (Bring Me Their Hearts, #3)

10 " I breathe deep, for maybe my last breath, and say, "Please, trust me. Wait for me."
It's a promise, and a cry, and a prayer.
It's unfair to ask him. Selfish.
But maybe I've earned a little of that, at the end of all things. "

― Sara Wolf , Send Me Their Souls (Bring Me Their Hearts, #3)

11 " Somewhere between the days and nights that passed of his crying beneath the boughs of the white tree, Malachite found the jewels--her necklace and her bracelet. But not the ring. And that gave him the only hope he could cling to. Her ring--she still had it, maybe. She had said to wait for her.
So he would.
He would, until the end of the world again. "

12 " It’s hard to know when you’ve been holding on to something until you finally let it go, or it leaves of its own accord. "

13 " I love you.
Did you know that? Even if you did, I wanted to say it one last time.
But no one is ever really gone.
I wish you the happiest of lives. A long life, too. But not too long. You know how I feel about eternity.
Wherever you go, I will be. "

― Sara Wolf , Send Me Their Souls (Bring Me Their Hearts, #3)

14 " I can’t let the emotion of fear submerge me. Drown me. The ocean is so big, so full of life, but I won’t drown in it. I can swim. I’ve learned to swim now. "

― Sara Wolf , Send Me Their Souls (Bring Me Their Hearts, #3)

15 " I’m here, at the end of the world.
And the beginning of a new one. "

19 " In vetrisian court customs, one does not embrace. Unless one is family.

I run, unthinkingly--scrabbling over the pile, bricks and wood flying, my arms reaching for her through the swirling dust.

And she catches me, hands and all.

Scarred neck and all.

Smile and all. "

20 " Don't," she says. "Don't come back. You have no friends here."

"Except you."

Her steady gaze quavers, hazel on my blue, sadness on my sadness.

"I am not a friend," she corrects. "I am a home." Her words are arrows, the warm sort, and I let them pierce me, one after the wonderful other. Her grip intensifies. "You will always have a home with me, Zera. "
