Rampion, ready for liftoff!” The dash lit up with controls and screens – only the most important ones. The same sterile feminine voice came over the ship’s speakers. “Thorne, I can’t set the automatic lift. You’re going to have to take off manually.” He gaped at the controls. “Why is my ship talking back to me?” “It’s me, you idiot!” He cocked his ear toward the speaker. “Cinder?
The only way through this is to fight.
I don’t mind the scars.” He shrugged, his eyes taking on a mischievous spark. “They hold better memories now than they used to.” Scarlet.
If I don’t take care of myself, nobody will. That’s something I learned early on, thanks to you.
I’m glad you told me everything.” His body seemed to deflate beneath her. “I should have told you sooner.” “Yes, you should have.” She tilted her head, temple to temple. “But I still don’t despise you.” She swept a kiss against his cheek and felt his body lock up. His heartbeat thundered against her wrist as she clasped her hands together.
Which must be nonsense.” “I rather enjoy nonsense.
Scarlet leaned forward and kissed him. Softly. Just once.
Miss Linh, from your blood samples I have deduced that you are, in fact, Lunar.

Her fingertips tentatively curled around the hair at the back of his neck, and she found that she was shaking, sure he would push her away at any moment. But he didn’t. He did not pull away. Did not grimace.
Why is a raven like a writing desk? You see, they can each produce a few notes. Though admittedly, the notes tend to be very flat.
Winter barely smothered her own smirk. A doctor. What might they prescribe for the girl who was going crazy, who heard monsters clawing at her door nearly every night? But.
Have a whirlwind romance, a happily ever after, and have no more worries for the rest of your days.
But Dataran and the boy in the holograph both had pronounced cheekbones and slender frames that suggested a particular grace. And they had both made her fan sputter. What.
Now, when he kissed her or put his arms around her, Scarlet felt like he was staking a claim. Which normally would have sent her on a tirade about relationship independence, except she felt like she’d claimed him a long time ago. The moment she’d expected him to choose her over his pack, the moment she’d dragged him aboard that ship and taken him away from everything he’d ever known, she’d made the decision for them both. He was hers now, just like she was his. Except.
Iko grunted in a most unladylike way, drawing everyone’s gaze to her. “I get stabbed and she gets to marry Kai. That just figures.
