‘Soil is the foundation of everything. Where life starts and returns. As Antaris stands among their work, gazing in awe, Veda wonders whether this garden might be a place where he can begin anew.’

he’s literally my baby

‘His shoulders shake with each ragged breath as he fights to keep inside what desperately wants out. Silence amplifies his grief, shaking her to the core as she watches him struggle, fighting it...until Veda whispers his name, reminding him that he's not alone. With red cheeks and wet eyes, he starts to back away but freezes. Lips quivering, he scrubs his tears away with clenched fists, and hides his face again.’

veda rides a motorcycle???? hell yea

‘"I'm coming back."
He has to say it three times before Antaris lifts his head, still on the verge of tears.
"I promise.”…
"I know it's not much, but ..."
Fumbling for a pen, Hiram scribbles a note. A written oath he vows to never break.
I’ll always come back.’

“What you think is loneliness is actually hunger.”

oh?😼

‘“I know, but his arm was covered in tattoos, and one looked exactly like my amulet, right down to the imperfections." She covers it with her hand. "It's one of a kind, my dad made it by hand. No one should have a replica."
"Unless you're linked through the Cosmos."
"I hope not."’

oh they for sure are 😛

‘Hiram has never known her last name, but her first has been etched into his memory for a decade. Veda.
"Why is my amulet tattooed on you?" she asks, studying him with narrowed eyes.
"I.., don't know."’

he’s been ‘transfixed’ by her for 10 years ???? oh i love this
