“I'd never thought about what my favorite color was before. It never seemed important.
Not until I looked into a pair of ocean blue eyes and realized that perhaps drowning was a beautiful thing.
Not until I looked into a pair of fiery blue eyes and realized that perhaps burning was a painless thing.
Not until I looked into a pair of sky blue eyes and realized that perhaps falling was a peaceful thing.
I'd never thought about what my favorite color was before because I hadn't seen one that was worthy of the title. Until now, that is.
"Blue," I say, my voice low.”

“I may be a monster, but if you cut me, I'll bleed. And if you break my heart, Pae, you'll break me. So, if even a sliver of your soul longs for mine, I'll spend the rest of my life trying to deserve it.”
― Lauren Roberts, Reckless

“And I’ll save your life again and again, aimlessly hoping you will allow me to stay in it.”
― Lauren Roberts, Powerless

“Have you really counted my freckles?"

"All twenty-eight of them", he breathes before kissing me hard.
"Though, you might have more now from the sun." Another quick kiss. "I'll have to do a recount."

My laugh has him pulling me closer, nipping at the tip of my nose with his teeth.

I wrap my arms around his neck. He is my anchor, and I'm willing to sink so long as it is with him.”
― Lauren Roberts, Reckless
