“I wonder what exactly it is about you that causes the king to trust you so much,” she said.

“So trust me. Don’t take any risks unless you have an absolutely imperative reason. I promise I won’t ever let you be hurt again.”
She heard the smile in Key’s voice as he murmured, “I believe in you.”
Beneath her hand she felt the rhythmic thunder of his heart. As though he were a real living person. As though she held the drums of war in the hollow of her hand.

Ugh this is not gonna end well!

“It’s hard for me to think of the characters around us as real people. Do you understand? Are you like me?”
Key’s grey eyes went eagerly bright, silver as a magic blade. “I think so.”
Rae grasped his arm. “You walked into the book too?”
“Sorry,” said Key. “What book?”
His face was blank as a page with no story on it yet.
Rae sagged. “Ah. You’re a sociopath. My bad.”

LOL

“Do you lift?”
He tossed a smile gone sly over his bare shoulder. “Knives. Spoons to my mouth. A woman, once.”

Key the man that you are

Attacked, Sears raised his head and blinked. “Milly has no worries. She’s been left John’s house and a disproportionate amount of money.”

No worries? The man she loved just killed himself lol

She gave me a great cow-eyed look, and I was certain she was thinking of that rural tradition of the schoolmaster marrying his eldest female pupil.

yikes...

The reason you can tell me is that—” Sears paused, and Ricky feared that he’d say, I sometimes wish you’d never married too.

I can't tell if they secretly like each other or this is just bro talk

"And the fact that when Ed chewed gum he would swallow it instead of spitting it out . . . for some indefinable reason that revolted me no end."
