Quote by Ruby Dixon

“My owner was given a very showy plant and a ribbon, and he gave the plant to me because he thought it smelled bad. I kept it for many years until it died, giving it a portion of my water rations, and it was the only greenery I saw. I told myself if I ever got free, I would surround myself with living things so I would see them everywhere I turned.”

“My first instinct is always to protect you, but I am trying hard. I want to include you in everything. You are my mate." Nassakth lightly presses a kiss to my mouth, landing on my upper lip. "The reason I greet the sunrise with joy." Another kiss. "The reason I smile." Another kiss, this one on my chin. "And the reason I eat bread, even when the texture is disgusting." "Okay now," I chuckle. "I get it. No more bread." "Oh, I will eat bread if it makes you smile.”

“Did you really think I would leave you behind?" "I wasn't sure," she stammers, holding on to me. Her gaze searches my face, worried. "I thought maybe I pushed you into it, because I love you and I want what's best for you, but when the ship started to take off, I realized I'm selfish." She tugs hard on my tunic, pulling me down a little more until our noses are practically touching. "I want to keep you. You're mine.”

“Everything is different with you.” “I am glad.” She lays her head on my shoulder again, and her mouth curves into a little smile. “It is the same with me. I have not felt like anyone was safe before you.” “Even if I brought you here?” “Even if,” she agrees. Her fingers move to my jaw, and she touches me in a light caress, her fingertips stroking over my skin. “I have you, and I have the stars. I’m safe. I don’t need more than that.”
