A page from the book
When the body survives, memory can still interrupt the simplest day.
Εξακολουθούσα να θυμάμαι εκείνη την στιγμή, στον ύπνο και τον ξύπνιο μου. Την όψη του προσώπου του, την ακινησία του στήθους του, το σπάσιμο του δεσμού ανάμεσά μας. Εξακολουθούσα να αισθάνομαι εκείνο το κενό στο στήθος μου, εκεί όπου φώλιαζε κάποτε ο δεσμός, εκεί όπου φώλιαζε... αυτός. Ακόμη και τώρα που ο δεσμός αυτός ρέει πάλι ανάμεσά μας σαν ποταμός αστροκέντητης νυχτιάς, η ηχώ του χαμού του επιμένει να αντηχεί· να με αποσπά από τον ύπνο· να με αποσπά από μια συζήτηση, από τη ζωγραφική που τόσο αγαπώ, από την απόλαυση ενός γεύματος. Σάρα Τζ. Μάας.The novel is the fifth book in Maas’s A Court of Thorns and Roses series; its title refers to the winter solstice celebration.

What it sounds like when someone could ruin you and chooses not to.
I could open a black hole that would swallow the beach. I could turn the sea dark as ink and kill everything inside of it. I could demolish the castle, brick by brick, from where we stand. I could take you back to Nightshade lands with me right now.” His voice was deep as dreams, dark as nightmares. “I could do all of those things.” His lips pressed against the top of her ear, for just a moment. “And I might—if I didn’t think you would hate me for it.
Lightlark · Alex Aster
The ordinary moment that makes all the fighting worth it.
I want to remember to celebrate more. I want to remember to experience more joy. I want to allow myself to be happy more frequently. I want to remember, forever, this look on Aaron’s face, as he’s bullied into blowing out his birthday candles for the very first time. This is, after all, what we’re fighting for, isn’t it? A second chance at joy.
