Book cover for Gravewater Lake
But Gregg is real. Because when I turn toward the stairs, he’s right there, coming out of his bedroom. A bedroom that I’m sure was empty moments earlier.

Génial... Je vais bien dormir cette nuit. (Non, j'ai peur.)

“You saw what those thousands of people did in front of my father. All the fanfare, all the ceremony—the charade, the theater—I can’t stand it. I loathe to think of people pretending they mourn me when they do not, or praising me when they detest me, or remembering me as kind when I was wicked. I cannot bear the thought of anyone offering to go echo-step with me when they do not mean it.' His voice wavered with real emotion, real fear. 'Wei—if I die tomorrow, I beg of you, don’t let them make a spectacle of me in my death. I wish to die quietly, just as I am.”
Shen Tao, The Poet Empress

“All I knew was that life without her was a dark void. She was my best friend. My teammate. My family, even more than my parents, who I’d left behind the day I turned eighteen and saw only once in a blue moon. I wasn’t parentless. Not like Miley. But spending time with her was the thing that brought me to life, made me realize that the kind of love I got at home was halfhearted and finite. Drops of water in a bucket. Miley—and her mom, Jane—loved like the turquoise ocean I’d only seen in postcards. Warm and limitless.”
Noelle W. Ihli, Gray After Dark

“why are women always expected to love those who would hurt us? To take care of those who would use us”
Shen Tao, The Poet Empress

“From one branch, two azaleas blooming,
Fighting for a piece of the dawn.
The roots lie rotten, the leaves die weeping;
Come night, all the flowers are gone.”
Shen Tao, The Poet Empress

“It is not a weakness to be seen”
Shen Tao, The Poet Empress
