Quote by Leigh Bardugo

“I would give you a crown if I could,” he said. “I would show you the world from the prow of a ship. I would choose you, Zoya. As my general, as my friend, as my bride. I would give you a sapphire the size of an acorn.”

“It doesn’t knock. Doesn’t bloom like it used to. Just shows up in the way someone remembers how you take your tea. In a song that doesn’t ache anymore. It slips between the cracks of the day in the quiet of forgotten habits, in hands that don’t flinch when reaching for yours. Love returns slowly. In mismatched mugs, and the softness of being asked if you’ve slept. In laughter that feels like rinsed linen clean, familiar, light. It’s a slow thing, like the light that finds its way through closed blinds.”

“Some days, the light falls strangely across the floor, and I almost believe it's trying to speak telling me about the versions of myself I left behind. The girl who thought love was a folded paper note; the boy I once called home but forgot how to find; the promises we buried in the mouths of wilted flowers. I walk slower now.”
