Ann Aguirre
I never knew I had the power to hurt him, only that he possessed the power to hurt me.
Ann Aguirre
I imagine the ones we’ve lost as ghosts who prowl about the edges of the light, waiting for us to join them. Sometimes that’s terrifying, and sometimes it’s reassuring, a promise of homecoming.
Ann Aguirre
His lashes, fluttered like butterfly wings. I could've made you happy, dove. You did, I whispered
Ann Aguirre
But the world moves on, even when you don't want it to, even when change feels like the end of everything. It never stops.
Ann Aguirre
I know just how he feels that it’s come to this. Sometimes, love isn’t enough, even when it’s all you have.
Ann Aguirre
A huntress never stabbed anything she didn't want to.
Ann Aguirre
. . . and I don’t expect him to suborn his life into mine any more than I would change my dreams for him. We’re not one soul, one being, however much we love each other.
Ann Aguirre
He went in, lean and deadly, and ended the creature with a lightning-fast spike of his blade. It shrieked, likely altering the rest. The death call carried like a mournful song.
Ann Aguirre
They say funerals are not for the dead but for the living. Those rites are what permit you to move on, so if you don't deal with the remains, you can never deal with the memories. That might be true we may have walked in their dust down on Venice Minor, but it's not the same as a proper good-bye.
Ann Aguirre
After people have gone, you forget their faults, and you recall the ideal more than the person.
