“Only two sets of lungs remained breathing in the house, but if you remembered what I said about love, really there was one. Every breath she took was mine. Every beat of her heart a pulse in my chest. Every thought in that beautiful head, a whisper against my ears.”
― Lily White, The Five

“I take you, Juliette Cai, to be my lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, until...No, scratch that. To have and to hold, where even death cannot part us. In this life and the next, for however long our souls remain, mine will always find yours. Those are my vows to you.”
― Chloe Gong, Our Violent Ends
