    “I don't know. I don't actually remember anything from before the surgery."

    “He froze, becoming stone still. As the hover climbed the hill to the palace, his shoulders sank, and he returned his gaze to the window. "She's my alpha," he murmured, with a haunting sadness in his voice.

    Alpha.

    Cress leaned forward, propping her elbows on her knees, "Like the star?"

    "What star?"

    She stiffened, instantly embarrassed, and scooted back from him again. "Oh. Um. In a constellation, the brightest star is called the alpha. I thought maybe you meant that she's...like...your brightest star." Looking away, she knotted her hands in her lap, aware that she was blushing furiously now and this beast of a man was about to realize what an over-romantic sap she was.

    But instead of sneering or laughing, Wolf sighed, "Yes," he said, his gaze climbing up to the full moon that had emerged in the blue evening sky. "Exactly like that.”

    “Kai cleared his throat. Stood straighter. "I assume you are going to the ball?"
    "I-I don't know. I mean, no. No, I'm sorry, I'm not going to the ball."
    Kai drew back, confused. "Oh well... but... maybe you would change your mind? Because I am, you know."
    "The prince."
    "Not bragging," he said quickly. "Just a fact.”

    Marissa Meyer
    “It's all right," said Wolf. "You loved her. I would feel the same if someone wanted to erase Scarlet's identity and give it to Levana's army.

    Scarlet stiffened, heat rushing into her cheeks. He certainly wasn't insinuating . . .

    "Aaaaw," squealed Iko. "Did Wolf just say that he loves Scarlet? That's so cute!"

    Scarlet cringed. "He did not--that wasn't--" She balled her fists against her sides. "Can we get back to these soldiers that are being rounded up, please?"

    "Is she blushing? She sounds like she's blushing."

    "She's blushing," Thorne confirmed, shuffling the cards. "Actually, Wolf is also looking a little flustered--”

    “All right, Miss Cryptic. What's the new plan, then?"
    Glancing around the room, Cinder tipped up her chin. "It starts with kidnapping the groom."
    Iko's hand shot into the air.
    "Yes, Iko?"
    "That is the best idea ever. Count me in.”

    “Did you see any rice in there? Maybe we could fill Cinder's head with it."

    “She moaned into her pillow. "Go away. I feel like dying."
    "No fair maiden should die alone," he said, putting a hand on hers. "Shall I read to you in your final moments? What story would you like?"
    She snatched her hand back. "How about the story of the idiotic prince who won't leave the assassin alone?"
    "Oh! I love that story! It has such a happy ending, too—why, the assassin was really feigning her illness in order to get the prince's attention! Who would have guessed it? Such a clever girl. And the bedroom scene is so lovely—it's worth reading through all of their ceaseless banter!”

    “Of course." He picked up the brown bag of candy on the table. "What's your . . ." He trailed off as he weighed the bag in his hands. "Didn't I give you three pounds of candy?"
    She smiled impishly.
    "You ate half the bag!"
    "Was I supposed to save it?"
    "I would have liked some!"
    "You never told me that."
    "Because I didn't expect you to consume all of it before breakfast!"
    She snatched the bag from him and put it on the table. "Well, that just shows poor judgement on your part, doesn't it?”

    “I love you,” he repeated, shaking her again. “I have for years. But if I asked you to pick, you’d choose Arobynn, and I. Can’t. Take. It.”
    “You’re a damned idiot,” she breathed grabbing the front of his tunic. “You’re a moron and an ass and a damned idiot." He looked like she had hit him. But she went on, and grasped both sides of his face. “Because I’d pick you.”

    Sarah J. Maas
    “Sam smiled, his brown eyes turning golden in the dawn. It was such a Sam look, the twinkle of mischief, the hint of exasperation, the kindness that would always, always make him a better person than she was.

    Before she knew what she was doing, Celaena threw her arms around him and held him close. Sam stiffened, but after a heartbeat, his arms came around her. She breathed him in—the smell of his sweat, the tang of the dust and rock, the metallic odor of his blood... Sam rested his cheek on her head. She couldn't remember —honestly couldn't recall—the last time anyone had held her. But embracing Sam was different, somehow. Like she wanted to curl into his warmth, like for one moment, she didn't have to worry about anything or anybody.

    “Sam,” she murmured into his chest.

    “Hmm?”

    She peeled away from him, stepping out of his arms. “If you ever tell anyone about me embracing you... I'll gut you.”
    Sarah J. Maas, The Assassin's Blade

    “But why? Why can't you let it go?"
    He grabbed her shoulders and shook her. "Because I love you!"
    Her mouth fell open.
    "I love you," he repeated, shaking her again. "I have for years. And he hurt you and made me watch because he's always known how I felt, too. But if I asked you to pick, you'd choose Arobynn, and I. Can't. Take. It."
    The only sounds were their breathing, an uneven beat against the rushing of the sewer river.
    "You're a damned idiot," she breathed, grabbing the front of his tunic. "You're a moron and an ass and a damned idiot." He looked like she had hit him. But she went on, and grasped both sides of his face, "Because I'd pick you."
    And then she kissed him.”
    Sarah J. Maas, The Assassin's Blade

    “Roland gave her a courtier’s smile. “And what sort of work do you do for my uncle?

    Dorian shifted on his feet and Chaol went very still, but Celaena returned Roland’s smile and said, “I bury the king’s opponents where nobody will ever find them.”
    Sarah J. Maas, Crown of Midnight

    Sarah J. Maas
    “That was when they noticed that every musician on the stage was wearing mourning black. That was when they shut up. And when the conductor raised his arms, it was not a symphony that filled the cavernous space.

    It was the Song of Eyllwe.

    Then Song of Fenharrow. And Melisande. And Terrasen. Each nation that had people in those labour camps.

    And finally, not for pomp or triumph, but to mourn what they had become, they played the Song of Adarlan.

    When the final note finished, the conductor turned to the crowd, the musicians standing with him. As one, they looked to the boxes, to all those jewels bought with the blood of a continent. And without a word, without a bow or another gesture, they walked off the stage.

    The next morning, by royal decree, the theatre was shut down.

    No one saw those musicians or their conductor again.”
    Sarah J. Maas, Heir of Fire
