'And he’d introduced himself to her again, for the hundredth and hundredth of times. On a spring morning like many spring mornings before over the years. And like every other time, when day would fade, when light would start to disappear into midnight, she'd forget him. And once again, he'd be a stranger to her, and she'd be the creation he'd beheld with such violent hands.'

why is this author allergic to happiness?

“How am I even losing you,” he said, his mouth stretching into a trembling grin despite the tears in his eyes—tears that softened the very ground she stood on. Silene’s world had never been shaken the way it did just then. “You were never even mine.”

“My taunting eidolon, my lovely apparition, my beautiful phantom,” he murmured as a wet drop fell against the glass frame. “How many more nights must I mourn you?”

aww, poor boy 💔

“Mine does.” |
“I don’t own her,” “But she does own me.”

he has to stop saying things like that or I'll go feral

“Resorting to weaponry. Very unfair of you, my pretty ruin.”
Frustrated breaths entered Silene’s lungs. “Don’t call me that.”
“As you wish, my beautiful damnation.”

Come out of that damn home and glare at me, shout at me, come out and throw rocks at me, and tell me every single thing you hate about me, just come out. Please. I can let you throw stuff at Tommy, too, if you’d like. PS: Your lilies are looking a little sad. Are their stems supposed to be bending like that?

“What am I to do with a heart I cannot use to love her, Silene?”

I smell an even more tragic backstory (please let this not end like the prequel)

“Tommy says he misses you, and that you should visit again.”

no babes, YOU miss her

this is so good, I'm completely obsessed with the writing
