“Bruises go away, Tyler. Scars stick around to prove you showed up for life. That you lived. That you fought. That you loved.”
― Adriana Locke, Written in the Scars

“Life does pack a punch. But it’s the scars that make us who we are, that tell the story of the life we lived.”
― Adriana Locke, Written in the Scars

“Do you love her?” I ask hoarsely.
His head whirls toward me. “No.”
“You sure about that?”
“I don’t. Not the way you do.”
I relax, just slightly. “Still. You care about her.”
Of course he does. We all do, because that girl flew into our house like a whirlwind and made everything come alive again. She brought steel and fire. She made us laugh again. She gave us a purpose—at first, it was us uniting against her. Then it turned into us standing beside her. Protecting her. Loving her.”
― Erin Watt, Broken Prince

“The heartbeat is the purest form of honesty”
― Penelope Ward, Stepbrother Dearest
