Home. Home was the same- home was untouched. I squeezed Rhys's hand so tightly I thought he'd complain, but he only squeezed tight back.

And I realised that home was indeed the same, but we... perhaps we were not.” HomeSarah J MaasFeyreFeyre ArcheronRhysandRhysA Court Of Wings And RuinUnchangedVelarisNot The Same Book:A Court of Wings and Ruin Source: A Court of Wings and Ruin

Don't ever doubt that a mere second can change your life forever.” ChangeEventsThings HappenControlUnstoppableDominoesChain ReactionNot The SameSand Dollar Summer Book:Sand Dollar Summer Source: Sand Dollar Summer
