“None of this had been fated; none of it foretold. There had been no prophecies of a demon king or a dragon queen, a one-eyed Tailor, Heartrender twins. They were just the people who had shown up and managed to survive.

“Like even when something beautiful breaks, the making of it still matters.”
― Emily Henry, Happy Place
