ProseAndPetals | 373 comments 🗝️⋆。𖦹°‧★ Chapter 1: “Iris stared at the pile, remembering her first day of work three months ago. How Roman Kitt had been the last to shake her hand and introduce himself, approaching her with a hard-set mouth and cold, keen eyes. As if he were measuring how much of a threat she was to him and his position at the Gazette.”🗝️⋆。𖦹°‧★

ProseAndPetals | 373 comments Chapter 5: “The street lamps were beginning to flicker to life, illuminating his face with amber light. She hated how handsome he was. She hated how her heart softened when he looked at her.”.𖥔 ݁ ˖ ✦ ‧₊˚ ⋅

ProseAndPetals | 373 comments Chapter 8: “I always thought the two of you would make such a stinking pair. A few of the editors —not me, of course— cast bets that you would end up together.” “ME AND KITT?”𑁍ࠬܓ

Eryn | 78 comments “Iris hardly knew the hour or the day or where they stood. They were both caught in a storm of their own making and she didn’t know what would happen when it broke. She only knew that something ached within her chest.” chapter 34

ProseAndPetals | 373 comments Chapter 9: “ do you ever feel as if you wear armor day after day? That when people look at you, they see only the shine of steel that you’re so carefully or case yourself in? they see what they want to see in you the warped reflection of their own face or a piece of sky or shadow cast between buildings. They see all the times you’ve made mistakes all the times you failed all the times you’ve hurt them or disappointed them as if it was all you will ever be in their eyes. How do you change something like that? How do you make your life your own and not feel guilt over it?”🧥☾⋆。𖦹 °✩ 🛡️

ProseAndPetals | 373 comments Chapter 10: “ for a breath Iris couldn’t move. and whatever mask he had been wearing for everyone else—the smile in the mirror eyes and the flush cheeks—faded until she saw how exhausted and sad he was a struck cord with her music that she could feel deep in her bones and she broke their stair first.”✿༉‧₊˚🖤❀༉‧₊˚.


message 15: by ProseAndPetals, Challenges MOD (new)

ProseAndPetals | 373 comments Chapter 12: “And that was when the second terrible revelation hit her. Roman Upper Class Kitt was standing in her home. Her rival was standing in her flat, beholding the disarray of her life. He could see the melted candles on the sideboard from all the nights she couldn’t afford electricity, and the stray wine bottles that she had yet to gather and dispose of. How barren the living room was, and how the wallpaper was faded and falling apart.”

Eryn | 78 comments “Slowly, he lifted his fingers and wove them with hers—fingers that had typed letter after letter to her. And she raised him to his feet.” Chapter 35


message 17: by Eryn, BOTM Annotator (new)

Eryn | 78 comments “you think I’m only here to ‘outshine’ you. But that’s the furthest thing from the truth. I broke my engagement, quit my job, and traveled six hundred kilometers into war-torn land to be with you, Iris.”” Chapter 36
