I feel so guilty for how much faster I’m eating this one up

“Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere. They are in each other all along.”

Realizing that the last conversation between Dom and Delphine was, in fact, their last KILLED ME—especially with her memory of little Dom right after. Everyone is just so sad and so hurt T-T

This is so unexpectedly good and devastatingly heartbreaking. What’s going on in the book right now relates to shit I’m working through in my real life too. I love when I know I’m reading a book at the right time.

Ooooo this is traaaaashyyyyyy

This is kind of a drag

“Her warmth engulfs me. The atmosphere shifting as tumultuous storm clouds gather in her eyes, and her rain begins to pelt me—all burden lifting, along with any remnants of anger.

“‘But she alone is more important than all of you put together. Because she’s the one I watered. Because she’s the one I put under glass. Because she’s the one I protected with the wind-shield.

Because she’s my rose.’

“Then she said:
‘Don’t hang around like that. It’s irritating. If you’re going to go, go!’ For she didn’t want him to see her crying.
She was such a proud flower.”

“‘I understood nothing then! I should have judged her by her actions, not her words. She perfumed and lit up my life. I never should have run away! I should have guessed the tenderness behind her silly games. Flowers are so contrary. But I was too young to know how to love her.’”

“‘You know… when you’re feeling really sad, you like sunsets…’
‘Were you feeling so sad then, that day you watched forty-three sunsets?’
But the little prince didn’t reply.”
