Quotes by Kate Schumacher (?)

“I’m scared at how deeply consuming you are. I’m scared by how much I want you, and I’m scared at what I’d do for you. If you asked me to kill for you, Jenyfer, I would. If you asked me to throw myself to the sharks, I would.”
― Kate Schumacher, The Call of the Sea

“He wished they’d been able to stay in that library, with the warm light and apple-scented air waltzing into the room through wide, stone arches.”
