“So, tell me the story,’ Owain said after they had stood in silence for a while, looking at the top of the Grove through the Fog.
Deri’s first thought was to ask what Owain would offer him for it. His second was to just name the price as one kiss, willingly given. He went with his third impulse: just tell the bloody story.
But tell it well.”
― A Market of Dreams and Destiny

“Relationships break down. People change. Those who are truly in love
can work at it for years and still end up apart. It doesn’t mean they weren’t
in love or that they were supposed to love someone else more. It just … is
what it is. Heartbreak sucks, but it’s a part of life. Putting it down to destiny
or fate or any other higher deity is lazy and dismissive of the effort needed
to truly make a relationship work.”
“That’s …”
“Insightful? Philosophical?”
“Depressing.”

“I thought of Darian. Even here, where everything was bright and brash and fake, he glittered like something real.
It was terrifying to want something as much as I wanted him. It was far too precarious and far too dangerous to imbue anything, or anyone, with that sort of power. Not when I couldn’t trust myself. All it did was make him into something else I would lose, destroy, or have taken away.
But, in truth, I would have told a thousand lies to have him, and a thousand more to keep him.”

“Harley stands and stretches his long and lean body as he yawns. “Oh, and one more thing. If I am recognized, you’re gonna have to carry me through the horde back to the hotel.”
“Nah, they say the best way to train is to run like someone’s chasing you. It’ll be good practice for you.”
“But I want to sing ‘I Will Always Love You’ all Whitney Houston like while you race through the streets of New York with me in your arms bridal-style. You could be my Kevin Costner and take a bullet for me.”
“Your fantasies about me are fucked-up.”
