He grinned. “Don’t tell me you’d miss me.” Zoya looked away again. “I suppose the world would be less interesting without you in it. I wouldn’t let myself be drowned in amber for just anyone, you know.” “I’m touched,” he said. And he was. It was the closest thing to a compliment she’d ever given him.

You are strong enough to survive the fall.

With a wild, gasping breath, she felt her wings unfurl.

Nina just liked to flirt with everything. He’d once seen her make eyes at a pair of shoes she fancied in a shop window.

@grishaverseonline mission 07: valentine’s gift exchange — for simone, @arithmancy
