    “Clap her in chains," says Randalin.
    Never have I so wished there was a way for me to show I was telling the truth. But there isn't. No oath of mine carries any weight.
    I feel a guard's hand close on my arm. Then Cardan's voice comes.
    "Do not touch her."
    A terrible silence follows. I wait for him to pronounce judgement on me. Whatever he commands will be done. His power is absolute. I don't even have the strength to fight back.
    "Whatever can you mean?" Randalin says. "She's-"
    "She is my wife," Cardan says, his voice carrying over the crowd.
    "The rightful High Queen of Elfhame. And most definitely not in exile.”

    Even though I am the queen in exile, I am still the queen.

    “It's you I love," he says. "I spent much of my life guarding my heart. I guarded it so well that I could behave as though I didn't have one at all. Even now, it is a shabby, worm-eaten, and scabrous thing. But it is yours.”
    Holly Black, The Queen of Nothing

    “Have I told you how hideous you look tonight?" Cardan asks, leaning back in the elaborately carved chair, the warmth of his words turning the question into something like a compliment.

    "I cannot," he says, then frowns.”

    “Wait,” he said. The burn of his voice was rougher than usual. “Is my tie straight?”
    Inej laughed, her hood falling back from her hair.
    “That’s the laugh,” he murmured, but she was already setting off down the quay, her feet barely touching the ground.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Crooked Kingdom

    Leigh Bardugo
    Shall I tell you the secret of true love? her father once asked her. A friend of mine liked to tell me that women love flowers. He had many flirtations, but he never found a wife. Do you know why? Because women may love flowers, but only one woman loves the scent of gardenias in late summer that remind her of her grandmother's porch. Only one woman loves apple blossoms in a blue cup. Only one woman loves wild geraniums.
    That's Mama!
    Inej had cried.
    Yes. Mama loves wild geraniums because no other flower has quite the same color, and she claims that when she snaps the stem and puts a sprig behind her ear, the whole world smells like summer. Many boys will bring you flowers. But someday you'll meet a boy who will learn your favourite flower, your favourite song, your favourite sweet. And even if he is too poor to give you any of them, it won't matter because he will have taken the time to know you as no one else does. Only that boy earns your heart.
    Leigh Bardugo, Six of Crows

    “I need someone who can be invisible, who can become a ghost. Do you think you can do that?"

    I'm already a ghost, she thought. I died in the hold of a slaver ship.
    "i think so.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Six of Crows

    “He'd turned the room into a planetarium.
    No, not a planetarium. A virtual galaxy.
    Brilliant stars splashed across the soaring walls and ceiling and swirled beneath our feet. Constellations dotted the "sky," including Andromeda, Perseus, and a distinctive hourglass shape that made my breath hitch.
    Orion. My favorite.
    "You can't see the stars in New York" Dante said. "So I brought the stars to you.”
    Ana Huang, King of Wrath

    Ana Huang
    “They’re ice cream cufflinks,” I said brightly. “I know a jeweler on Rue de la Paix who makes customized pieces. The onyx is the soy sauce. The ruby is the cherry, even though you don’t eat it with cherry, but I think the red ties the design together.” It was a half-joke gift, half-sincere. Dante owned dozens of luxury cufflinks, but I wanted to give him something more personal. “Do you like them?” I asked. “I love them.” He removed his current cufflinks and replaced them with the new ones. “Thank you, mia cara.”
    Ana Huang, King of Wrath
