Quote by Leïla Slimani

“She feels suddenly sentimental. This is what it's like, being a mother. It makes her a bit silly sometimes. The most banal moments suddenly seem important. Her heart is stirred by the smallest things.”

“I swear to you, if you take that crown, I will do everything in my power to ensure that there will be peace eternal between our lands. And I swear . . . I will never leave you to face that burden alone.’ Slowly, Cat raises their hands to his lips. 'Then I swear an oath to you, Elician, King of Soleb. And I bind my life to yours.’ Elician leans forward, kissing Cat’s knuckles in turn – and sealing the promise on both ends. ‘My life is yours too, Alest, King of Alelune.’ Cat’s eyes catch a flicker, to their left. He gasps. Elician turns too. Outside, shooting stars are flying across the sky in breathtaking, streaking bursts without end. It marks the moment their fractured houses quietly join as one.”
