“I breathe in my bride. She tastes like my forever. We walk from beneath the willow’s canopy, hand in hand. King and queen. Shadow and Flame. Poet and muse.”
― Lauren Roberts, Fearless

“I love you. And I’ve been waiting to tell you since I realized your eyes are my favorite color and your freckles the only constellation worth looking at. I could lie—say that you’ve stolen my every thought and heartbeat like the thief you are, but all of me was already yours. Pae, you are my inevitable.”
― Lauren Roberts, Fearless

“To living with you, Mara.” I lift the coin between us. She drips before me, gaze unwavering. “To accompanying you in death, Kitt.”
― Lauren Roberts, Fearful

“Somewhere, across time and space, there's a version of me and a version of you, wearing matching rings, tangled up in front of a fireplace, together. I have to believe that's true.
In another life, it would have been us, but not in this one.
I can't have you in the way you deserve to be had.
Know how desperately I love you.
Know how sorry I am.
And know that I'm doing the best that I can.”
― Sasha Peyton Smith, The Rose Bargain
