7 " People like us are not victims. We’re someone’s nightmare. "
8 " I love you. I've loved you from the beginning. And I will love you long after the last stars dies. I will love you until the end of darkness itself. "

We have notoriously thin skin.” Despite the threat, his eyes spark with excitement. “I’m sorry,” I say, “your ponytail is very masculine. I feel like I’m going to grow a beard just looking at it "
17 " And mountains may rise and fall, and the sun might wither away, and the sea claim the land and swallow the sky. But you will always be mine.” He runs his knuckles over my cheekbone. “And the stars might fall from the heavens, and night might cloak the earth, but until darkness dies, I will always be yours. "
18 " want to know a truth of mine?” “Always,” I say, turning my head to better face him. He takes my hand and presses it against his chest. Beneath my palm I feel his heartbeat racing. My eyes move from his chest to his face. “It does that whenever I’m around you,” he says. I "
