“I’ll want you even in death, Sellah. There’s no afterlife, but that doesn’t matter. I’ll love you until I’m dead in the dirt, then I’ll love you until my body is nothing but bones. And when my bones fade to dust coating the earth, I’ll still want you.”
― Nicole Scarano, The Scattered Bones

“It has to ache his heart when he sacrifices his queen—the crown will accept no less. But he keeps his heart well-guarded, opening it to none.”
― Liv Zander, Crown Me Dead

“Because love and loss are on the same coin—one side warmth, one side ache—but the value never changes. And to carve out the grief would be to erase the love that made the memory worth living. A thousand times over.”
― Liv Zander, Crown Me Yours

“You can’t have love without embracing grief. Pain is the price we pay for participating in life.”
― Liv Zander, Crown Me Yours
