“Feyre,' he said, his voice hoarse. As if he'd been screaming.

'Yes,' I said. He studied my face- the taloned hand at my throat. And released me immediately.

I lay there, staring up at where he now knelt on the bed, rubbing his hands over his face. My traitorous eyes indeed dared to look lower than his chest- but my attention snagged on the twin tattoos on each of his knees: a towering mountain crowned by three stars. Beautiful- but brutal, somehow.

'You were having a nightmare,' I said, easing into a sitting position. Like some dam had been cracked open inside me, I glanced at my hand- and willed it to vanish into shadow. It did.

Half a thought scattered the darkness again.

His hands, however, still ended in long, black talons- and his feet... they ended in claws, too. The wings were out, slumped down behind him. And I wondered how close he'd been to fully shifting into that beast he'd once told me he hated.

He lowered his hands, talons fading into fingers. 'I'm sorry.'

'That's why you're staying here, not at the House. You don't want others seeing this.'

'I normally keep it contained to my room. I'm sorry it woke you.'

I fisted my hands in my lap to keep from touching him. 'How often does it happen?'

Rhys's violet eyes met mine, and I knew the answer before he said, 'As often as you.'

I swallowed hard. 'What did you dream of tonight?'

He shook his head, looking toward the window- to where snow had dusted the nearby rooftops. 'There are memories from Under the Mountain, Feyre, that are best left unshared. Even with you.'

He'd shared enough horrific things with me that they had to be... beyond nightmares, then. But I put a hand on his elbow, naked body and all. 'When you want to talk, let me know. I won't tell the others.'

I made to slither off the bed, but he grabbed my hand, keeping it against his arm. 'Thank you.'

I studied the hand, the ravaged face. Such pain lingered there- and exhaustion. The face he never let anyone see.

I pushed up onto my knees and kissed his cheek, his skin warm and soft beneath my mouth. It was over before it started, but- but how many nights had I wanted someone to do the same for me?

His eyes were a bit wide as I pulled away, and he didn't stop me as I eased off the bed. I was almost out the door when I turned back to him.

Rhys still knelt, wings drooping across the white sheets, head bowed, his tattoos stark against his golden skin. A dark, fallen prince.”

“If you told me today that you wanted to become a cow and roam the fields, I would buy you a little cowbell for that scrawny neck of yours.”

“She ran to Alaric, to fight by his side.”
― Thea Guanzon, A Monsoon Rising

“You guard your heart so hard I'm surprised it hasn't turned to coal. But instead it sounds like you found a guy who sees you for the diamond you are. And whether you realize it or not, you're worth it. You deserve happiness, on your own terms.”
― Chandra Blumberg, Digging Up Love

“Six months of captivity, but I also see it as being six months of empowerment. Every scar here is a testament to what you’ve lived through. Who you are now.”
― M.L. Philpitt, Burning Notes

“He starts to turn away, then stops, scratching at his beard, considering something, before bending low in the grass and plucking something from the soil. He holds it out in his palm. "Good luck, giant," he says, nodding.
In his palm rests a tiny green leaf.
"It's a four-leaf clover," he explains with a wink. "And one that's been plucked from inside St. Patrick Town is particularly lucky."
I take the green clover from his palm and hold it up to the clouded sky, marveling at its four perfectly rounded leaves. It smells of soil and rain, resting delicately between my fingertips. And it looks just like the clover on the doorway into this realm.
"Thank you," I say to him, but when I glance up, he's already vanished into the thick green spruce trees and falling raindrops.”
― Shea Ernshaw, Long Live the Pumpkin Queen: Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas

“I do not love my National Team because they do something for me. I love them because they represent me; therefore, my faithfulness towards them will always be true.”
― Joan Ambu

“A woman is like a tea bag - you can tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water.”
― Eleanor Roosevelt Seagraves

“Warm, strong fingers cupped her chin, calluses scraping against her skin.

She let him lift her head. She hadn't realised he'd come closer. That only inches separated them. Unless she'd been the one to drift toward him, drawn by every brutal word.

Cassian kept his light grip on her chin. 'Whatever you need to throw at me, I can't take it. I won't break.' No challenge laced the words. Only a plea.

'You don't understand,' she said, voice rasping. 'I am not like you and the others.'

'That's never bothered me one bit.' HIs lowered his hand from her chin.

She straightened. 'It should.'

'You say that like you want it to bother me.”
― Sarah J. Maas, A ​Court of Silver Flames

“Cassian nuzzled into her hand, closing his eyes. 'I'll be with you every step of the way,' he whispered into her palm. 'Just don't lock me out. You want to walk in silence for a week, I'm fine with that. So long as you talk to me at the end of it.'

She stroked a thumb over his cheekbone, marvelling at him- the words and his beauty. Some essential piece of herself clicked into place. Some piece that whispered, Try.

Cassian opened his eyes, and they were so lovely they nearly stole the breath from her. Nesta leaned forward until their brows touched. And despite all that brimmed in her heart, all that flowed through her body, sure and true, she merely whispered, 'Thank you.”
― Sarah J. Maas, A ​Court of Silver Flames

“Cassian stood beside her through all of it. Not speaking, not touching. Just there, should she need him. Her friend- whom she'd asked to come here with her not because he was sharing her bed, but because she wanted him here. His steadiness and kindness and understanding.”
― Sarah J. Maas, A ​Court of Silver Flames

“Nada will marry when she's ready, Aunty. She has excellent judgment and has never rushed anything in her life. She has her engineering job, she has her family and friends, and for now, that's enough. When the time is right, she will find her match.”

“He runs his hands through his hair and lets out a breath. “You don’t have to shrink yourself to fit into someone else’s story, Olena. You don’t have to keep apologizing for existing.”
― Hannah Brixton, Hey Jude

“I'll try to escape again.'

'I figured as much.'

'I'm not going to stop fighting you.'

'I wouldn't want you to.'

I thought that was weird. 'And I'm not going to marry you.'

'We'll talk about that later.'

'No, we won't,' ...”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire

“Alaric’s large fingers clamped around her wrist, dragging her back down. “No one else can see.�� She hesitated, unconvinced and worried sick. He added, his tone uneven and his grip on her tightening, “Don’t, Talasyn.��
His thumb brushed across the inside of her wrist in fretful strokes, and her free hand moved as though of its own accord, wrapping around his, squeezing in reassurance as she asked, "Do you have any bandages, then? I can-"
"Leave it," Alaric told her through clenched teeth. "I'll take care of myself."
“You’re in no condition—��
“I can manage—��
"No, you can’t!��
He gave a start at her raised tone, his powerful body twitching as though it longed to curl in on itself in a protective ball. Thoroughly chastened, she cradled his cheek, the walls that she had so carefully built around herself in his presence crashing down. “Alaric,�� she pleaded, “let me help you.�� “You shouldn’t even be here.�� Despite his rough, strained words, he leaned into her touch with a quiet desperation that made up her mind for her. “I am, anyway,�� she retorted. “You’re not getting rid of me that easily.”
― Thea Guanzon, A Monsoon Rising

“Talasyn suddenly wanted nothing more than to assure Alaric of her presence. She sank fully against his form, holding him down with her weight, burying her face in the side of his neck in a chaste imitation of what he had done to her once, in another bed.
“I’m here,�� she vowed into his smooth, overheated skin. “I’m not going anywhere.��
A sound between a groan and a hitch of breath caught in his throat. The hand on the small of her back rubbed compulsively, tracing the notches of her spine, and his arm tightened around her. His other hand tangled in her hair.
“I couldn’t kill that rebel.�� It was a choked, bewildered rumble in her ear. “One word from you and I let my guard down. I couldn’t kill you, either, all those times before �� What am I, if I’m not a weapon? What have you done to me?”
― Thea Guanzon, A Monsoon Rising

“Alaric’s lips gave a reluctant twitch. “What you did,�� he repeated, overcome by the sense of vague affection that he only ever felt around her, “that was more than anyone else ever …��
She bit her lip, her features crumpling with a pained sorrow that went far too deep for what she knew of his situation. Then she placed her hand over his, where it lay on the strips of woven rattan between them. He was struck dumb by the gentleness of the gesture, by how each touch of her slim fingers burned right through the leather of his gauntlets.”
― Thea Guanzon, A Monsoon Rising

“All right,�� Alaric said softly. “Breathe with me.�� And Talasyn did.”
― Thea Guanzon, A Monsoon Rising

“Stay with me,�� she whispered.
His breath hitched. “You know I will.”
― Thea Guanzon, A Monsoon Rising

“What would you do if you knew these were my final hours here with you?�� she asked.

“I would lay here and I would talk to you until you fell into your eternal sleep.�� he answered as he laid down next to her.
