...but Dimitri...well, my former lover and instructor was in a category all his own. His fighting skills were beyond anyone else's, and he was using them all in defense of me. Stay back, he ordered me. They aren't laying a hand on you.

Sorry, Sage. Last I checked, you aren’t an expert in social matters... At least I take action. You? You let the world go by without you. You have no spine. You don’t fight back. “You don’t know the first thing about me, Adrian Ivashkov. I fight back plenty.

His warmth was all around me, as was his love, and again, I felt that completeness. I had that missing piece of my word back. The soul that complemented mine. My match. My equal. Not only that, I had my life back -my own life. I would protect Lissa, I would serve, but I was finally my own person.

Even I make mistakes. I put on my brash, overconfident face. I know it's hard to believe—kind of surprises me myself—but I guess it has to happen. It's probably some kind of karmic way to balance out the universe. Otherwise, it wouldn't be fair to have one person so full of awesomeness.
Richelle Mead
The future is always changing. If we had no choices, there'd be no point in living.
Richelle Mead
He smiled and tapped my nose. Two thank-yous in as many days. I don't suppose I'll get to see any, uh, special gratitude? I scoffed. Nope. You'll just have to imagine it. He gave me a half-hug and released me. Fair enough. But I have a good imagination.
Richelle Mead
You're strong—you're so, so strong. It's why I love you.
Richelle Mead
Half condemn him and write him off as useless like him dad. The other half just shrug and indulge him and say, ‘Well, that’s Adrian.
Richelle Mead
My God, Sage. Your eyes. How have I never noticed them? That uncomfortable feeling was spreading over me again. What about them? The color, he breathed. When you stand in the light. They're amazing... like molten gold. I could paint those... He reached toward me but then pulled back. They're beautiful. You're beautiful.
Richelle Mead
I'll see you later Roza. At our next practice? I asked. We are starting those up again, right? I mean you still have things to teach me. Standing in the doorway, he looked over at me and smiled. Yes. Lots of things.
Richelle Mead
your eyes... they're beautiful.you're beautiful. *sigh*
