“I can’t bring myself to do it.” There’s terrible emotion in his voice, not the anger and resentment of earlier, but something hopeless and broken. “It’s the last thing that ties you to me. If I cut it away, what do I have left?”
“All the world,” I answer, “and everything in it.”
“You’re the only thing worth having. You’re the only thing I want.”

“If your death was in my hands, Lynch, I’d make it the most beautiful fucking death.”
“You’re so in love with me.” I roll my eyes. “It’s so goddamn sinister. Can’t you go back to hating me?”

“There’s nothing wrong with me. Just like there’s nothing wrong with you.”
“Now you’re just lying for the sake of lying.”
“Just like a poisonous flower. You don’t need to be fixed. You just need to be cultivated by the right hand.”
“Let me guess, Luca. You’re the only person capable of cultivating me? You’re going to harvest my leaves and suck the venom out of my petals?”

“I’m not going to fucking fix you, Luca. This isn’t a fairy tale. You’re not a cursed prince, and I’m not the dick-fixing witch that’s going to break your curse. My kisses won’t change you. You’re a monster and you’re going to stay a monster. Whatever’s broken inside you will stay broken.”

“You’ve got a fixation on my scars, Luca. You mad you didn’t get to put them there yourself?”
“I have no interest in your destruction,” Luca lies. “There’s no joy in shattering something that’s already in pieces.”
“You’re so desperate to provoke me. It’s like you want me to slap you around.”
He smirks. “A man can’t help his fetishes.”
