Quote by Dianne Duvall

“Brown eyes, so dark they appeared black, met hers and struggled to focus. His hand moved under hers, turning so he could curl his fingers around hers. "This had better not be another fucking fantasy," he muttered.”

“Don't disguise your tears, don't hide your sadness, don't be afraid to find out who you really are. Because in those fleeting moments you'll summon such beauty and strength that, in no time at all, you'll fully grasp exactly why you're so gossiped about here in the unseen”
