Bow Before No One Quotes

“Rhys had already been gone by breakfast, though one of his notes had been on a bedside table.

Thank you- for last night, was it had said. No pen to write a response.

But I'd hunted down one anyway, and had written back, What do the tattooed stars and mountain on your knees mean?

The paper had vanished a heartbeat later. When it hadn't returned, I'd dressed and gone to breakfast. I was halfway through my eggs and toast when the paper appeared beside my plate, neatly folded.

That I will bow before no one and nothing but my crown.

This time, a pen had appeared. I'd merely written back, So dramatic. And through our bond, on the other side of my mental shields, I could have sworn I heard his laugh.”
― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Mist and Fury
