“Name one hero who was happy."
I considered. Heracles went mad and killed his family; Theseus lost his bride and father; Jason's children and new wife were murdered by his old; Bellerophon killed the Chimera but was crippled by the fall from Pegasus' back.
"You can't." He was sitting up now, leaning forward.
"I can't."
"I know. They never let you be famous AND happy." He lifted an eyebrow. "I'll tell you a secret."
"Tell me." I loved it when he was like this.
"I'm going to be the first." He took my palm and held it to his. "Swear it."
"Why me?"
"Because you're the reason. Swear it."
"I swear it," I said, lost in the high color of his cheeks, the flame in his eyes.
"I swear it," he echoed.
We sat like that a moment, hands touching. He grinned.
"I feel like I could eat the world raw.”
― The Song of Achilles

“...¿Cómo es posible que nos hayamos enamorado?
—Porque era inevitable-la voz de Eric brotó áspera, estrangulada por el deseo—.Porque forma parte del plan del universo. Porque la misma gravedad que todo lo conforma, que todo lo equilibra, nos ha estado conduciendo sin remedio hasta nuestro lugar. Y mi lugar eres tú, mi destino, la única estrella que quiero contemplar el resto de mi vida.”
― El medallón de fuego
