“It was too damn easy to…to live right alongside Poppy. And, gods, I wanted that. Badly.”
“I knew this was real. What was between us. What she felt for me. What I felt for her. This. It was real.”
A FIRE IN THE FLESH
“I knew nothing bad could reach, scare, or disturb me here. Because I wasn’t alone. A wolf sat on the bank of my lake, one more silver than white. He watched. And I knew I was safe.”
“Because I loved him. I was in love with him. And right or wrong, I would do anything for him.”
“‘I’m nothing without you, liessa,’ he whispered as he started to slip away, and the embers hummed in my chest. ‘And there will be nothing without you.’”
“‘I will always find you, Sera.’”
“‘Even if I’m not looking at you, you are still all I see.’”
“‘I never wanted until you.’”
“‘I’ve lived because of you.’”
“I knew I was not a part of the cycle of life. I was the cycle. The beginning. Middle. The last breath before the end. Death’s steadfast companion. I was Life.”
“He was the nightmare that had become my dream. The calm in my storm. My strength when I was weak. The breath when I couldn’t breathe. He was more than my King. My husband. Ash was the other half of my heart and soul.”
“‘But I still fell, Sera. Hard and fast. Irrevocably. Even without my kardia, I fell in love with you.’”
“‘You’re simply my first, Sera, and you will be my last.’”
PLAYLISTS
Have you ever had moments of your life that just seem as if they should be set to music? Sometimes, I feel that way about my visions. Occasionally, I even hear notes floating on the breeze while the scene plays out in my mind. Poppy and Casteel’s and Sera and Nyktos’s journeys are like symphonies in themselves, but the beat and tempo and cadence of each milestone in their lives is a perfect complement to some actual musical scores out there.
Here are some that I think you should check out and tie back to what happened in the stories of their lives.
