“This is ideal, you’ll see. We do everything backward. It’s just how we are. We began with an elopement. After that, we made love. Next, we’ll progress to courting.

― Tessa Dare, A Week to be Wicked

“Love is not a noun.
Love is something you do.
Something you prove.
Something you work hard to create.
Love is not something that simply exists because you say it.
Love it not a noun.
Love is a verb.”
― Jay McLean, Heartache and Hope

“Princesses don't play with fire.”
― Audrey Coulthurst, Of Fire and Stars
