“Nesta said hoarsely, " You are good, Cassian. And you are brave, and brilliant, and kind. I could kill anyone who has ever made you feel less than that -- less than what you are. And I know I'm part of that group, and I hate it" Her eyes burned, but she fought past it. " You are everything I have never been, and will never be good enough for. Your friends know it, and I have carried it around with me all this time - that I do not deserve you.”

“Rhys brushed a hand down my arm. “You are, as always, free to go wherever and whenever you wish. But what I think Mor is saying is ... try to leave a note the next time.”
The words were casual, but that was panic in his eyes. Not—not the controlling fear Tamlin had once succumbed to, but ... genuine terror of not knowing where I was, if I needed help.

“I am not with you" she snapped "I am fucking you"
"The only thing fit for a bastard-born brute, right?"
"I didn't say that"
"You don't need to. You've said it a thousand times before"
"Then why did you bother cutting in at the ball?"
"Because I was fucking jealous!" he roared, wings splaying. "You looked like a queen, and it was painfully obvious that you should be with a princeling like Eris and not a low-born nothing like me! But go ahead, Nesta. Go ahead and fucking marry him and good fucking luck to you!"
"Eris is the Brute" she shot back "He is a brute and a piece of shit. And I would marry him, because I am just like him!"
The words echoed through the room.
His pained face gutted her. "I deserve Eris" Her voice cracked.”

“He let her die. You would have gone to the ends of the earth to save your High Lord."
My chest hollowed out again, but I merely said, "Yes I would have," and slipped inside to get ready.”
