“You’re not just saying that. Tell me the truth, man. I feel sick.” “Before I married Eo, I threw up.”
“Bullshit.”
“Wasn’t that I was afraid of making the wrong decision. I was afraid she was. Afraid of not living up to her expectations…But my uncle told me that it’s women who see us better than we see ourselves. That’s why you love Victra. That’s why you fight with her. And that’s you why you deserve this.”

“Aren’t you afraid you’re going to break everything and not be able to put it back together?” he asks sincerely.
“Yes,” I say, understanding myself better than I have for a long time. “That’s why I have Mustang.”

“You don’t think you’ve gotten a chance to live?”
“Not proper,”
“What’s proper?”
He crosses his arms like he’s a kid in a fort looking down at the real world and wondering why it can’t be as magical as he is. “I dunno. Something far away from being a Peerless Scarred. Maybe a Pixie or even a happy midColor. I just want something to look at and say, that’s safe, that’s mine, and no one is going to try and take it.”

😭😭😭😭😭
“I will give Eo your love. I will make a house for you in the Vale of your fathers. It will be beside my own. Join me there when you die.” He grins. “But I am no builder. So take your time. We will wait.”

Not HIM dammit 😭😭😭

“I’m always saying shit things.”
“I’m glad you said it.”
“Why?”
“Because we’ve both forgotten we didn’t get here on our own. You and I should be able to say anything to each other. That’s how this works. It’s how we work. We don’t walk on eggshells. We talk to each other. Even if we say shit that’s hard to hear.” I see how alone he feels. How much weight he carried. He needs to share the weight.

I switched to the dramatized audio and it's much better on this one than trying to do it from the first book where I was trying to understand the whole setting, but ngl, it drives me insane that the chapters don't match, and that I have to search the ebook for the sentence to know where I am at 🙈🥲

Sevro never change 😂

“Sevro.” I lean forward. “Your eyes…”
He leans in close. “Do you like ’em?” Buried in that squinting, sharp-angled face, his eyes are no longer that dirty shade of Gold, but are now as red as Martian soil.
“They’re bloodydamn marvelous. Fit you like a glove.”
He punches his hands together. “Glad you said that. Cuz they’re yours.”
I blanch.
“My what?”
“Your eyes!”
