Get it!” He’s wheezing with laughter.“Is this a good morning kiss or a good night kiss?” Russ calls, the sound of agrin all over his voice. “Are we coming or going?” “Kinda busy right now, guys.” I can’t help but feel a little thrill at the steel underneath Nick’s hoarse voice.“Oh, we can see that.” Russ laughs at his own joke while Evan says, “Sorry to interrupt, my liege! Please, proceed with thy gentle tonguing!”

“Nico deixara a porta aberta ao sair, e Otto sentia o vento da rua entrando em cheio. Nada no ar parado o fazia lembrar-se de Ada; era o vento que a trazia de volta, agitada, puxando-o pela mão nos dias de chuva. Otto levantou-se e abriu a janela da sala. A corrente de ar ficou mais forte. Achava desconcertante a esposa ter desaparecido assim, de uma hora pra outra, pois ela vivia na segunda-feira e, na terça, já não existia mais. Assim, de repente. Quando ventava, ele quase podia vê-la abrindo as portas de casa para sentir o cheiro das plantas, tentando adivinhar se as tulipas já haviam crescido. Ainda ouvia a voz da mulher quando algum vizinho dava risada; às vezes acordava de súbito com um fantasma se mexendo ao seu lado na cama ou o cheiro do Proteção Antecipada no ar. O sofá estava espaçoso demais, não havia mais vestidos ou pentes nem creme hidratante com aroma de pepino. Otto não tinha mais ninguém para derrubar as panelas na cozinha e fazer um barulho desnecessariamente espalhafatoso enquanto ele lia o jornal de manhã. “Tudo sob controle!”, ela gritava, derrubando uma pilha de tampas.”

“Nico di Angelo ran up to me with a big grin on his face. "Percy, this is awesome!" His blue-feathered bronze helmet was falling in his eyes, and his breastplate was about six sizes too big. I wondered if there was any way I'd looked that ridiculous when I'd first arrived.”

Three words.
A promise of hope.
The words tingled in Will's ear.
They ignited his heart.
"I love you."
And they fell.”
