Ohhhh my god! Blue sounds so sultry in the audiobook :o I just adore her.

Wow, the letter on this page was quite sensual! What a way with words Blue has…beautiful! “I wish sometimes I could be less fierce with you. No—I feel sometimes like I ought to want to be less fierce with you. That this—whatever this is—would be better served by tenderness, by gentle kindness. […] To be soft, for me, is so often pretense, and pretense does not come easily while writing to you.”

Both this novel, and the novel(la) I finished the other day use “petal” as a term of endearment. Not exactly sure why this sticks out to me, but I love it. So sweet; so adorable. I missed Blue oh so very much.

Never have I wanted two people (would "beings" be better?) to meet and be together and live happily ever after more. But seriously. "I have built a you within me, or you have. I wonder what of me there is in you." I mean, come on. Needless to say, Blue and Red are perfect. I adore them and their letters. So much.
