1 " Live for me. Breathe for me. Come back to life for me. "
― Pepper Winters , Fourth Debt (Indebted, #5)
2 " TIME WAS MY worst enemy. Nothing good ever came from time. It passed too quickly—good moments and happy memories gone in a blink. Or it passed too slowly—bad experiences and unhappy circumstances dragging for an eternity. "
3 " I don’t want to be here. I missed my dream world where everything was sunshine and smiles, away from whatever memories snarled on the out skirts of comprehension. I want to forget…just for a little longer. "
4 " My heart occasionally stuttered, out of sync, out of power—almost as if it recognised death and wanted to give in. I forced it to do the bare essentials, keeping me from a grave. I was in the coffin ready to be buried, but I wasn’t a corpse just yet. "
5 " My heart occasionally stuttered, out of sync, out of power—almost as if it recognised death and wanted to give in. I forced it to do the bare essentials,keeping me from a grave. I was in thecoffin ready to be buried, but I wasn’t a corpse just yet. "
6 " I will kill them. And I will dance on their graves when I do. "
7 " But if I was a miracle, then that came with certain obligations and privileges.Privileges I would call on in order to end them an who’d killed me. Obligations I meant to uphold now I was free. I’d returned from the dead. And I’d bring the wrath of hell toward my enemies. "
8 " Why couldn’t life be like storybooks? Jethro sighed, hugging me hard. "
9 " Number: I love you more. I love you with every breath I take and every heartbeat I live. I love you more every day. "
10 " bare feet slapped against cool flooring. The room swam, reminding me all too much of Nila and her imbalance. We’re perfect for each other. Both slightly broken. Both slightly flawed. But perfectly whole once we let our hearts become one. "
11 " Flaw chuckled. “Good God, man, you have no shame.” I wanted him to bugger off. My heart disintegrated and my core clenched to have Jethro inside me again. I was wet, wanting. Jethro laughed. “I’m not embarrassed to be honest for the first time in my life. This woman is mine. I love her, and I don’t fucking care who knows it. "
12 " Fear was a strong emotion, but it had nothing on love. "
