Pandora

“I see these things. I’ve always seen them, and I love you because of, not despite, them. Because they’re what makes you you. And I love who you are—I love how thoughtful, and observant, and compassionate you are. I love that you never form an opinion before gathering all the available information. I love that your sense of humor is so dry, I never know if you’re joking. I love how gorgeous you are when you laugh, and I love the way your brain never stops working. I love you.”
― Ali Hazelwood, Cruel Winter with You

“I could reach the rank of Maven, lead armies of dark wielders against everyone we care for, and watch every vein in my body turn red as I channel all the power in the Continent, and I would still love you. What I did doesn’t change that. I’m not sure anything can.”
― Rebecca Yarros, Onyx Storm

“It was hotter than rage, and sharper than fear, and cut deeper than helplessness, all because I couldn’t get to you.”
― Rebecca Yarros, Onyx Storm

“The world outside of them—all the stars and songs and strange meetings—faded out of existence.”
― S.M. Gaither, The Queen of Cursed Things
