“When I was in the coffin, I pushed myself closer.
I let myself slip away....
Just to stay sane. Just to get through it.

And when I felt myself slipping too far, I hold on to the thing I'm always sure of--

Blue eyes.
Bronze curls.

The fact that Simon Snow is the most powerful mage alive. That nothing can hurt him, not even me.

That Simon Snow is alive.

And I'm hopelessly in love with him.”
