"It seemed a prudent course of action, considering your insufferable intolerance to being separated from the general's daughter." She huffs.
"Insufferable? That's a bit far."
"Where's Violet now?'" she mocks. "What is she doing? Is she thinking of me? Is she missing me? Is she getting closer to Aetos? Does she dream about that kiss? How many days until Violet's-'"
"Point fucking taken."

Not that I give a fuck either way. If it were safe for Violet, I’d be ecstatically guilty of inappropriate behavior. Wickedly inappropriate. In my bed. In hers. On a table in the Archives. In the building chamber and every room with a door to lock so no one else can see what’s mine. I’d be so decadently inappropriate that her voice would turn hoarse from screaming my name every single day.

WHAT THE FUCK??? YOU’RE ALIVE??????

"You still love me. It's possible." Gods, do I ache to kiss her, to remind her exactly what we are together, but I won't, not until she asks. "I'm not afraid of hard work, especially not when I know just how sweet the rewards are. I would rather lose this entire war than live without you, and if that means I have to prove myselt over and over, then I'll do it. You gave me your heart, and I’m keeping it.”

i already knew about Liam :< but it still hurts :<

His eyes darken. "I'm going to keep you," he promises, just like he did last night. Or was it this morning? "You're mine, Violet."
I lift my chin. "Only if you're mine."
"I've been yours for longer than you could ever imagine."

“Is it wrong to wish we’d had time to finish?”
“Not sure I’ll ever be finished.” He rises, every plane of his body caressing mine on the way up. “I’m way too fucking greedy when it comes to you.”

"What are you wearing?" I ask Andarna, […].
"The wingleader had it made for me. See? It hooks to Tairn's."
I can't help but smile as I see the shape of the triangle on Andarna's back that I'm sure fits the one on Tairn's chest. "It's amazing."
"It's just in case I can't keep up. Now I can come along!"
Just another reason to adore Xaden.

"Violet Sorrengail, are you wearing Riorson's flight jacket?"
"Why would you say that?"
"Oh, I don't know. Because it's huge on you and there are three stars right here?"
Well, shit. Just goes to show that neither of us was thinking clearly.
"It could be any third-year's."
"With a Fourth Wing shield on the shoulder?"
"That does limit it a bit.”
"And a wingleader emblem beneath those stars?"
"Fine, it's his.”

“Oh gods.”
“Which one are you calling out for? Because it’s just you and me in this room, Vi, and I don’t share.”
“You.” My fingers tangle in his hair. “I’m calling out for you.”
“I appreciate the elevation to deity, but my name will do.”
