“When I was in the coffin, I pushed myself closer.
I let myself slip away....
Just to stay sane. Just to get through it.

And when I felt myself slipping too far, I hold on to the thing I'm always sure of--

Bronze curls.

The fact that Simon Snow is the most powerful mage alive. That nothing can hurt him, not even me.

That Simon Snow is alive.

And I'm hopelessly in love with him.”
― Rainbow Rowell, Carry On

“I hate you."
"Only because of the way I make you feel."
My fingernails eat into my palms. "Only because you bring out the worst in me."
"Oh no, luv. I bring out the life in you.”
