“Mo shíorghrá means “My eternal love” in Irish. It was what my father always called my mother. I remember as a kid hearing him greet her with it in the morning when he asked her how she slept. When she unintentionally made him laugh, he would say it with a shake of his head. Even when they argued, he would end the fight by whispering it into her hair. Every time he said it, I was so struck with the power of their everlasting devotion to each other. Every time I say it to you, I once again feel that same power. I love you eternally, Sophia Rose.”

“But most nights, I prefer my full bedroom and my personal collection of books.”
“You mean there are more books?” he asked, gesturing around. “More than this?”
“One can never have too many.” She broke into a soft smile… which dropped the instant she noticed the shift in Everett’s eyes. The thief’s pupils dilated as if she were some great treasure he’d just discovered.”
