He just let his hand trail down Noa’s spine, a gentle possessive stroke. “We become the ones worth loving anyway.”

"Good. Now, eat. You look fragile, and I prefer my prizes to be strong enough to hold their weight." As I walked toward the dining hall, I realized the "Monster" wasn't just paying for Leo's life. He was rebuilding mine into something he could control. I was Chapter 10 of a story I didn't want to be in, and the ending felt further away than ever.

He says, unsure. “Love the way you lie? Decent. I prefer the other one." I giggle. "Wouldn't have pictured you as someone who likes Eminem. Let alone know which one I meant." "Are you kidding?!
