“Her conviction wavered further. 鈥淚 told you; don鈥檛 try to own me.鈥�
鈥淚 don鈥檛 want to own you.鈥�

She swiveled her neck to meet his gaze. 鈥淭hen never speak of sending me away again. I am not yours to do with as you will.鈥�

Khalid鈥檚 features smoothed knowingly. 鈥淗ow right you are. You are not mine.鈥� He dropped his palm from the door. 鈥淚 am yours.”

“Shahrzad,

I've failed you several times. But there was one moment I failed you beyond measure. It was the day we met. The moment I took your hand and you looked at me, with the glory of hate in your eyes. I should have sent you home to your family. But I didn't. There was honesty in your hatred. Fearlessness in your pain. In your honesty, I saw a reflection of myself. Or rather, of the man I longed to be. So I failed you. I didn't stay away. Then later, I thought if I had answers, it would be enough. I would no longer care. You would not matter. So I continued failing you. Continued wanting more. And now I can't find the words to say what must be said. To convey to you the least of what I owe. When I think of you, I can't find the air to breathe. And now, though you are gone, there is no pain or fear. All I am left with is gratitude.
When I was a boy, my mother would tell me that one of the best things in life is the knowledge that your story isn't over yet. Our story may have come to a close, but your story is still yet to be told. Make it a story worthy of you.
I failed you in one last thing. Here is my chance to rectify it. It was never because I didn't feel it. It was because I swore I would never say it, and a man is nothing if he can't keep his promises.
So I write it in the sky-
I love you, a thousand times over. And I will never apologize for it.
Khalid”

“Saying 'I notice you're a nerd' is like saying, 'Hey, I notice that you'd rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you'd rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan. Why is that?' In fact, it seems to me that most contemporary insults are pretty lame. Even 'lame' is kind of lame. Saying 'You're lame' is like saying 'You walk with a limp.' Yeah, whatever, so does 50 Cent, and he's done all right for himself.”

“No. He was not here to wreak revenge.
For revenge was trifling and hollow.
No. He was not here to retrieve his wife.
For his wife was not a thing to be retrieved.
No. He was not here to negotiate a truce.
For a truce suggested he wished to compromise.

He was here to burn something to the ground.”

“So you intend to go through life never loving anyone? Just 鈥� things?鈥�
鈥淣o. I鈥檓 looking for something more.鈥�
鈥淢ore than love?鈥�
鈥渊别蝉.鈥�
鈥淚s it not arrogant to think you deserve more, Khalid Ibn al-Rashid?鈥�
鈥淚s it so arrogant to want something that doesn鈥檛 change with the wind? That doesn鈥檛 crumble at the first sign of adversity?鈥�
鈥淵ou want something that doesn鈥檛 exist. A figment of your imagination.鈥�
鈥淣o. I want someone who sees beneath the surface-someone who completes the balance. An equal.鈥�
鈥淎nd how will you know when you鈥檝e found this elusive someone?鈥� Shahrzad retorted.
鈥淚 suspect she will be like air. Like knowing how to breathe.”

“I鈥檝e missed the silence of you listening to me.鈥� Shahrzad attempted a weak smile. 鈥淣o one listens to me as you do.鈥� His expression turned quizzical. 鈥淵ou don鈥檛 wait to speak,鈥� she clarified. 鈥淵ou truly listen.鈥� 鈥淥nly to you,鈥� Khalid replied gently.”

“I鈥檝e never been angry to have been born a woman. There have been times I鈥檝e been angry at how the world treats us, but I see being a woman as a challenge I must fight. Like being born under a stormy sky. Some people are lucky enough to be born on a bright summer鈥檚 day. Maybe we were born under clouds. No wind. No rain. Just a mountain of clouds we must climb each morning so that we may see the sun.”

“Inej almost felt sorry for her. Dunyasha really believed she was the Lantsov heir, and maybe she was. But wasn鈥檛 that what every girl dreamed? That she鈥檇 wake and find herself a princess? Or blessed with magical powers and a grand destiny? Maybe there were people who lived those lives. Maybe this girl was one of them. But what about the rest of us? What about the nobodies and the nothings, the invisible girls? We learn to hold our heads as if we wear crowns. We learn to wring magic from the ordinary. That was how you survived when you weren鈥檛 chosen, when there was no royal blood in your veins. When the world owed you nothing, you demanded something of it anyway.”
― Leigh Bardugo, Crooked Kingdom
