🔮Hidden Depths🎯Worthwhile💞Loved Up
Quotes
- Snowhas quotedlast year
It was a love that broke us all.
My mother was high on the mast, just a slice of black against the glimmering sun overhead. It glinted around her and the dark red braid swung at her back as she climbed. I stood on the deck below, fitting my small feet into her dancing shadow.
She was the sun and the sea and the moon in one. She was the north star that pulled us to the shore.
That’s what my father said. The sound of his voice faded in the ripple of wind over the sails, the canvas snapping. - Snowhas quotedlast yearHe looked up then, his eyes meeting mine, and I thought I could see the glimmer of tears in them. “You were made for a far better world than this one, Fable,” he rasped. “I was young. I hadn’t learned the rules yet when Isolde came asking me to take her onto my crew.” The words turned to a whisper. “I loved her with a love that broke me.”
He brushed the tear from the corner of his eye, dropping his gaze back down to the table. I didn’t think about it before I reached across the knotted wood and covered his hand with mine. I knew what he meant because I’d seen it. Everyone had. Isolde was the wind and sea and sky of Saint’s world.
She was the pattern of stars that he navigated by, the sum of all directions on his compass. And he was lost without her. - Snowhas quotedlast yearI stopped midstride, looking back at West’s closed door, and a knowing smile spread on Auster’s face as he dragged the blade of his knife down the piece of wood in his hand, but he didn’t look up. He would pretend, the way everyone pretended not to know West and Willa were brother and sister. The same way they didn’t draw any attention to him and Paj. And in that moment, I felt more a part of the crew than I had guiding them through the Snare.
My face flushed again as I leaned against the mast and pulled my boots on.
