It’s so funny that I started this book like “aw man, I’ll miss adolescent Fitz and how stupid he is about how in love he is.”

Never fear, adult Fitz, has in fact, not grown out of his stupidity 🤡🫶🏼

“All down the years,” he said, his voice going golden as his skin. “You have been with me, as close as the tips of my fingers, even when we were years and seas apart.”

“Well, I suppose a sailor should have a scar or two on his face. And a broken nose gives him a very determined look.”
