“So, if this were one of your books, who would we be?’ ‘That depends,’ I said. ‘What kind of book is it? A romance? Mystery? Fairy tale?’ ‘Fairy tale,’ Brett said very seriously. ‘I’m guessing you want to be the prince?’ ‘Only if you’re the princess.”

'A nightmare, then?' she asks with a small, self-depreciating laugh. 'The kind of love that comes when two people see each other clearly,' he says, walking to her. 'Even if they're scared to believe that's possible. I adore you. I want to play games with you. I want to tell you all the truths I have to give. And if you really think you're a monster, then let's be monsters together.' Wren stares at him. 'And if I send you away even after this speech? If I don't want you?' He hesitates. 'Then I'll go,' he says. 'And adore you from afar. And compose ballads about you or something.”
