Quote by Ava Reid

“Preston?' she said. Her voice sounded strange: small, wondering. Almost hopeful. He glanced up. 'Yes?' 'Thank you.' 'For what?' 'For caring whether or not I die of sepsis,' she said. 'Oh,' he said. 'Well, you can never be too cautious. People have died in much more banal ways.' 'Thank you for giving me the chance to die of something interesting, then.' 'As long as you don't throw yourself out of any more moving cars.' There was a slight quiver on the left side of his mouth, as if he were trying not to smile. Behind his glasses, his eyes were solemn. 'There are far more interesting deaths out there.”

“I blushed, looking around at all the dancers. All the girls look so beautiful. And the boys handsome. I’m not any of that. “R-Ravyn.” I said, as he twirled me around. “D-do you really think I’m beautiful?” Ravyn chuckled with a faint smile. “More than you know.” We danced between a row of women. A smile came to my lips.“Do y-you think anyone here is more pretty?” Ravyn shook his head. “If all the women in the world were combined,” He brushed his fingers against my cheek. “They would look ugly against you.” “What if I am ugly.” “Your not.” Ravyn said. “No. If I-I were.” Ravyn had a thoughtful look, his glanced to the ceiling before lowering his eyes on mine. “Then,” He tilted his head. “I would bruise myself, cut my skin, and make my teeth decay.” He put his mouth to my ear, his breath fresh and warm. “Only so you don’t feel lonely.”
