Chance Encounter Quotes

“You and I are strangers, Huntress. Allies by circumstance. We may leave Sharr and never think of each other again. But in this moment, we are two souls, marooned beneath the moon, hungry and alone, adrift in the current of what we do not understand. We hunt the flame, the light in the darkness, the good this world deserves. You are like Tamin. You remind me that hope is not lost.”
― Hafsah Faizal, We Hunt the Flame

When he leaned back, I seethed, “Don’t you dare bring up”—I glanced to both sides, making sure there wasn’t anyone within ear range—“Lush.” The anger was beating in my chest. “Plus, you have no right to speak to me that way. Not here, not anywhere. What happened that night stays there.”
He smiled. “That’s right … seven orgasms is insignificant to you.”
My eyes went wide.
“Except, I think you were full of shit when you said that. I think you were trying to convince yourself that they meant nothing since the enemy is the one who gave them to you.” He continued to stare at me. “Yes, I’m right … I can see the way I affect you.”
“You infuriate me.”
He laughed and took a step back. “I love to hate you too, Sophie.” He turned around and walked to the exit.”
