"Cameron, my heart is quite literally in this,” he hisses through gritted teeth.

You ask how much of it was me," he whispers. "Some. Enough." 

“You should be thanking me. Don't-“ He puts his hands up in defense as I spit at him. 

“You really need to figure out another way to express your anger," he grumbles, wiping at his uniform.

He sets his jaw, a picture of determination. A mountain. Even now, in burned clothes, bruised, his body a wreck and his mind a ruin, he looks like a king. Cal is exactly the kind of person who will never kneel. It's not in him. He was not made that way.

I'm lonely; I'm afraid; I'm selfish. I feel emptied out by the Silent Stone and the months I've spent here, walking the edge of another razor. It would be so easy to let the broken pieces of me fall apart. It would be so easy to let him put me back together however he wishes. Maybe, in a few years, it won't even feel like a prison.

if only things could’ve been different 

"You threw me into an arena to die," I tell him slowly. As if either of us could forget. "You keep me chained up in your palace, guarded night and day, You let me waste away, sick—“

"You think I enjoy seeing you like this?" he murmurs. "You think I want to keep you a prisoner?" Something hitches in his breath. "It's the only way youll stay with me."

GOD he makes it SO hard to hate him i hate it 

 "You're like Thomas was. You are the only person I care about, the only person who reminds me I am alive. Not empty. And not alone.

I hate that Maven can say such things. I hate that he feels what I feel, fears what I fear. I hate it; I hate it. And if I could change who am, how I think, I would. But I can't. If Iris's gods are real, they certainly know I've tried.

I try not to look back as I go, but I can't help myself. Maven stares at the ceiling, his eyes empty. And I hear Julian in my head, whispering the words he wrote.

Instinct makes me want to shove Cal into the nearest room and lock the door behind us. Sense tells me I cannot.
