“You are mine to chase, to fight with,” Cassian snapped. “Nobody else’s.” A spiteful smile broke apart his lips, flashing his teeth. “Who knew the High God of Death and Curses to be so possessive?”
“We were like gods at the dawning of the world, & our joy was so bright we could see nothing else but the other.”

“I have done it," she says. At first I do not understand. But then I see the tomb, and the marks she has made on the stone. A C H I L L E S, it reads. And beside it, P A T R O C L U S.

"I swear it," he echoed.
We sat like that a moment, hands touching. He grinned.
"I feel like I could eat the world raw.”
