“You must save yourself," Tairn demands. "I chose you not as my next but as my last, and should you fall, then I will follow.”

“Anastasia Hawkins. Wow. And here I was thinking this was just a casual, no-commitment, no-jealousy thing.” He snorts, pressing his lips against mine one more time. “Shut up, Anastasia.”

“If you get sacrificed do I get your trust fund or does your dad take it back?” she asks, giggling when I dig my fingers into her side. “Also, do I have your blessing to marry Henry?” “No and no,” I say as sternly as I can manage. “I want you to wear black for the rest of your life and never move on.”

“This place cuts away the bullshit and the niceties, revealing whoever you are at your core.” I repeat his words from this summer. “Isn’t that what you said to me? Is this who you really are at your core? Someone so enamored with rules that he doesn’t know when to bend or break them for someone he cares about? Someone so focused on the least I’m capable of doing, he can’t believe I can do so much more?” The warmth drains from his brown eyes. “Let’s get one thing straight, Dain.” I take a step closer, but the distance between us only widens. “The reason we’ll never be anything more than friends isn’t because of your rules. It’s because you have no faith in me. Even now, when I’ve survived against all odds and bonded not just one dragon but two, you still think I won’t make it. So forgive me, but you’re about to be some of the bullshit that this place cuts away from me.” I move to the side and march past him through the tunnel, forcing air through my lungs.”
