1 " Do you think he looked for the house that was already decorated in black and white? I asked, wondering how we ended up with angel-palooza.Probably. He needed a place as deep and dark as his troubled thoughts. Arum are goth like that. "
― Jennifer L. Armentrout , The Brightest Night (Origin, #3)
2 " Any questions?” Daemon asked.Luc raised his hand.“Yes, Luc.”“Are you sure you’re against me getting Adam a llama?” Luc asked. “Like, really sure?”Daemon sighed. “Yes. I’m sure.”“Life ruiner,” he muttered, lowering his hand. "
3 " What-ifs are the STDs of the mind,” he said, squeezing me when I laughed. “Seriously. They’re pointless, and they end with you wanting to take a wire brush to your brain. Don’t waste your time there. "
4 " You’re a gift. You’ve always been the most precious gift life has ever handed me. Can I ever be worthy of that?” he whispered. “Of you? "
5 " My hand balled in the front of his shirt. “Thank you—”“Don’t thank me for that, not for doing what I needed to do.”His features blurred. “When am I supposed to thank you, Luc?”“When I do something worth thanking me for. "
6 " Any actual important questions?” Daemon asked.Grayson started to raise his hand.“Yes, Grayson, all kids are dirty, and they all smell funny,” Daemon said before Grayson got the question out there. "
7 " Even if you wake up and you don’t know who you are and you don’t know who I am, it’ll be okay. I’ll be here, and I’ll help you remember.” His lips brushed my forehead. “I’ve got enough love for you that I’m overflowing with it. It’ll be more than enough if you wake up and see me as a stranger.”Luc’s next breath sounded as ragged as my heart felt. “No matter how you come back to me, as Evie or as Nadia or someone else, I’ll still love you like I do now, like I did yesterday and the day before, and that’ll be enough.” I’ll still love you. "
8 " I love you, Evie. I fell in love with you within the first week I met you. I loved you before I even knew what that meant, and I loved you even when you were gone, and I loved you when you became someone else,” he said— pleaded, really. “And I fell even more in love with you when you walked through the doors of Foretoken. I’ve never stopped loving you. I never will. "
9 " We didn’t come all this way, survive all we have, only to lose each other again,” he said. “You won’t allow that. I know you won’t, but if you can’t believe in that yet, then believe in me until you can. "
10 " You may be a badass Trojan, but I’m yours. You’re mine. That means when you go toe to toe with anyone or anything, you go to battle with me beside you, and if I go down fighting to back you up, there won’t be a single part of me that regrets that. "
11 " There is humor in everything.” (...) “If we forget that, we lose everything. "
12 " I love you,” I whispered. “You know that right? I love you.” He leaned in, touching his forehead to mine. “I know, but if you feel the need to remind me often, I have no problem with that. "
13 " Never.” “Never come for me.” “Never look for me." "If you do, I will take everything from you. "
14 " God, Evie, do you know that you’re the only thing I’ve ever cared about? "
15 " I knew in my bones, Nadia would trust that no matter what, she wouldn’t hurt innocent people. She would believe in herself just as much as she believed in Luc. She sure as hell wouldn’t take the path of least resistance. She would explode right through any and all obstacles. And she’d do it dancing. "
16 " You’re giving me everything I’ve ever wanted or needed. You always have. "
17 " I’m your everything,” he whispered, curling his body around mine. “You’re my everything. "
18 " There is humor in everything.” His gaze caught mine. “If we forget that, we lose everything. "
