The hardest sacrifice might not be death.
Love.” The word floated between us on a soft gust of air. “Deep, abiding, unconditional love. You want it so much you’re willing to live for it.” Most people thought the biggest sacrifice they could make was to die for something. They were wrong. The biggest sacrifice someone could make was to live for something—to allow it to consume you and turn you into a version of yourself you didn’t recognize. Death was oblivion; life was reality, the harshest truth that had ever existed.
Twisted Love · Ana Huang
An oath that refuses to end at any distance.
Our love is stronger than time, greater than any distance. Our love spans across stars and worlds. I will find you again, I promise.
House of Sky and Breath · Sarah J. Maas
A plea that would rather have a fight than silence.
Come home and shout at me. Come home and fight with me. Come home and break my heart, if you must.
The Queen of Nothing · Holly Black
