“You're actually going to help me?'
'I've been helping you for months.' His hand flexes at my waist, and I swear I can feel the warmth of his touch through my cloak and leathers.
'No, you sent Liam to help. He's been helping me for months. My forehead puckers. 'Weeks. Almost months. Whatever.'
He has the nerve to look offended. 'I'm the one who burst through your door and killed everyone who attacked you, and then I removed the other threat to your life with a very public, very polarising display of vengeance. Liam didn't do that. I did.'
'The crowd wasn't polarised. They were all for it. I was there.'
'You were torn. In fact, you begged Tairn not to kill her, damn well knowing she'd just come after you again.”

“You’re actually reading that?” she asked, her auburn brows lifted at the sight of the romance novel Connor had given him this morning, sitting next to the medical textbook he’d propped open to the section on vertical mattress stitches.
Parker nodded. “Of course I’m reading it. How else am I going to find out if Michaela and Trent can outwit the creepy bad guy so they can give each other a lifetime supply of preternaturally incredible orgasms?”

“You’re afraid all of that will stop again if things don’t work out with someone new?” I let go of the string and look up into her eyes. She leans in, hugging her knees a little to close some distance.
“It was just so hard to find the energy to get back into everything after he broke up with me. It just felt hopeless.”
“Grief is normal. A lot of people sense a feeling of hopelessness when they experience a loss. You experienced a low, but you didn’t get stuck there. You’ve grown and put some good effort into rebuilding your life.” Her words put weight behind what I have been doing lately. I’ve learned it takes a lot of pieces to put a life back together, and I don’t ever want my world to revolve around anyone else again.”
“You're afraid." I utter it as a statement.
"Yes."
I study Staci a beat longer, as I fully take in her expression: "Are you afraid for her, or are you afraid of her?"
"Exactly."
I bow my head in defeat.”

“You're alive and safe, and I will not let any evil befall you. And you know that you can trust me. Because I love you.'
At her words my throat closed up and choked me. I wondered how she knew them to say. All my life, without knowing it, I had wanted someone to say those words to me, and have them to be true and believable. It was like watching someone give to another the gift you had always longed for.”
“You're alive, Haven, but when are you going to start living?”

“You’re all alone. No one wants you anymore. How long did you think we would all stay? You’ve killed each and every person who ever loved you. Even your children won’t want you.

No. Elizabeth will take what she wanted and then she will leave you too.”

“You're all fucking dead.' His voice is eerily calm and all the scarier for it.
Every head in the room turns.
'Riorson!' Orsen's dagger clatters to the floor.
'You think surrendering will save you?' Xaden's lethally soft tone sends goose bumps up my arms. 'It is against our code to attack another rider in their sleep.'
'But you know he never should have bonded her!' Orsen puts his hands up, his palms facing us. 'You of all people have reason enough to want the weakling dead. We're just correcting a mistake.'
'Dragons don't make mistakes.' Xaden's shadows grab every assailant but Orsen by the throat, then constrict. They struggle, but it doesn't matter. Their faces turn people, the shadows holding tight as they sag to their knees, falling in an arc in front of me like lifeless puppets.
I can't find it in my head to pity them.
Xaden prowls forward as though he has all the time in the world and holds out his palm as yet another tendril of darkness lifts my discarded dagger from the floor.
'Let me explain.' Orsen eyes the dagger, and his hands tremble.
'I've heard everything I need to hear.' Xaden's fingers curl around the hilt. 'She should have killed you in the field, but she's merciful. That's not a flaw I possess.' He slashes forward so quickly that I barely catch the move, and Oren's throat opens in a horizontal line, blood streaming down his neck and chest in a torrent.
He grabs for his throat, but it's useless. He bleeds out in seconds, crumpling to the floor. A crimson puddle grows around him.
'Damn, Xaden,' Garrick walks in, sheathing his sword as his gazes rakes over the room. 'No time for questioning?' His glance sweeps to me as if cataloguing injuries, catching on my throat.
'No need for it,' Xaden counters...”

“You're all I got.”
Source: False Dandelions
“You're all I've got, sis,' he said, his voice cracking a little. 'I know I haven't valued you. I know I wasn't always the best, growing up. But I had my own shit going on. Having to be a certain way because of Dad. Hiding my sexuality. I know it wasn't easy for you but it wasn't easy for me either. You were good at everything. School, swimming, music. I couldn't compete...Plus Dad was Dad and I had to be this fake vision of whatever he thought a man was.' He sighed. 'It's weird. We both probably remember it in different ways. But don't leave me, okay? Leaving the band was one thing. But don't leave existence. I couldn't cope with that.”

“You’re All My Clients.
I came across a post that said:
“My price isn’t too high; you’re just not my customer.”
It made me pause, because two things can be true.
1. He’s right.
2. He’s wrong.
Since when does business say you can’t have it all?
You absolutely can build products and services that serve both your high-end clients and those with smaller budgets.
That’s the beauty of strategy, innovation, and truly understanding your market.
I love business because business is who I am.
And I believe every client deserves access to systems that help them grow.
You don’t have to exclude to succeed.
You can design tiers, experiences, and models that meet people where they are, without losing value or vision.
I say you’re all my clients.
So, how can I serve you today?”
“You're all right?' he asks, brushing my hair back from my face.
'I'm great. You're great. That was...'
'Great?' he supplies.
'Exactly.
'I was going to use the word "explosive", but I think "great" covers it.' His fingers tangle in my hair. 'I fucking love your hair. If you ever want to bring me to my knees or win an argument, just let it down. I'll get the point.”

“You're already dead," Nico said. "You're a ghost with no tongue, no memory. You won't be sharing any more secrets."
"No!" Bryce's body turned dark and smoky. He slipped into the earth, up to his chest. "No, I am Bryce Lawrence! I'm alive!"
