“Invisibility, Stephen. How many times do I have to tell you?”

“”Sorry—who are you?” she said after a while.”

“I wished I could pluck it out of time and press it between paper. I felt the familiar presence of countless unspoken things, and yet they were not a weight upon me now; I saw in his eyes that he knew them all already.”

“I knew by now that Valérie wasn’t Havelock’s enemy, even if she’d declared him hers. She was only his sister.”

“I didn’t know what was worse—to lose someone suddenly and without warning, or to be losing someone always, a continual process, as magic wore away at the person they were.”

““I can’t imagine why anyone would be terrified of you,” I said lightly.”

god this is just horrible wow my heart breaks for her

“When she was a girl, and she’d fallen asleep in the car, her body felt the last three familiar turns, heard the car pull up on familiar gravel. Being with Landon felt like that. Even half asleep, her body would always know it was home.”

“Because my bar is low,” he said. “As long as I’m with you in the end, it’s all turned out.”

“What does the body remember that our minds do not?”

the body keeps the score !!

“Two sentences, left unsaid: “I wouldn’t wish the pain of being forgotten on anyone. It is the worst pain imaginable.””
