“I want to burn alive in that fire in your eyes. I want it to melt me down and forge me into the weapon you need me to be. I want to stand by your side for the rest of my life, and I don’t need you to marry me and make me a fucking king to do it.”
― Penn Cole, Glow of the Everflame

“Everyone says this phoenix represents dying and coming back as something new, but I disagree. I think it’s a symbol of surviving when the world burns down around us. It’s a reminder that no challenge can destroy the parts of us that truly matter. We’re not reborn in the flames. We’re revealed.”

“My father, who taught me everything he knew. Who never saw me as weak because I was a girl, who taught me to embrace it as my strength. My father, who had loved me unconditionally, even when I hadn’t deserved it.”
― Penn Cole, Glow of the Everflame

“Though the grief of my father’s death would be with me always, for the first time in a very long time, the clouds had parted, and I was happy.”
