Quotes

  • Annette Rosehas quoted4 years ago
    It was because I swore I would never say it, and a man is nothing if he can’t keep his promises.

    So I write it to the sky—

    I love you, a thousand times over. And I will never apologize for it.

    . “You must love her a great deal, Khalid-jan.”

    After a beat, Khalid lowered his sword, his brow marred by pain and consternation. “Love is—a shade of what I feel.”
