“He has told you a thousand times without words. But if I must use words, you are the Fair Tormentor. The cruellest irony. The most beautiful sorrow.” The wolf fell silent for a moment. “And also raw, bleeding regret.”

“You don’t have to thank me.”
“Why did you do it?”
“I felt bad for those kids.”
“You? Felt bad?”
“I’ve got to go.”
“But—”
Mordaunt bent down and kissed her on the lips.”

SCREAMING CRYING KICKING MY FEEL AND ALL!!

“Osric did not want Fairhrim to be beautiful. He was susceptible to beauty. He was an Appreciator of beautiful things. He wanted to acquire them. He wanted them to be his. Now, as Fairhrim neared, he fought a momentary panic that his beauty-loving heart would want Fairhrim in any way, that her loveliness tonight would trigger some latent kleptomaniac urge.”

Okaaaay now we talking!

“–men, compared with women, are statistically much faster to express sentiments of love, despite stereotypes to the contrary. I have counseled patients on this before, and I always advise them you should never say ‘I love you’ to another person unless that is what you’re feeling.”

“You almost do what?”

“Come back sometime,” he says, before he pulls away.

OH MY GOD THIS FOUR IS SO SMOOTH!! I FEEL THE BUTTERFLIES IN MY STOMACH GOING CRAZY

“I forget that he is another person; instead it feels like he is another part of me, just as essential as a heart or an eye or an arm.”

“I used to think that when people fell in love, they just landed where they landed, and they had no choice in the matter afterward. And maybe that’s true of beginnings, but it’s not true of this, now.”

“Everyone has to blame something for the way the world is,”

“…sometimes the person with the most ‘magical night possiblity’ is the last person you’d expect.
Sometimes there can be someone you’ve known forever, yet never really noticed.”

“-there’s nothing noble or tender about what I feel for you. It’s a violent volcano of obsession, possession, and deranged lust. If you want love, then I do love you, but it’s the unorthodox version of love. I love you enough to let you talk to my demons. I love you enough to allow you to have a hold over me when I’ve never allowed anyone to have the power to destroy me from the inside out.”
