“Shadow and Bone” by Leigh Bardugo

I missed you every hour. And you know what the worst part was? It caught me completely by surprise. I'd catch myself just walking around to find you, not for any reason, just out of habit, because I'd seen something that I wanted to tell you about or because I wanted to hear your voice. And then I'd realize that you weren't there anymore, and every time, every single time, it was like having the wind knocked out of me.

—Leigh Bardugo in Shadow and Bone

I didn't think he was in love with me and I had no idea what I felt for him, but he wanted me, and maybe that was enough.

—Leigh Bardugo in Shadow and Bone

The moment our lips met, I knew with pure and piercing certainty that I would have waited for him forever.

—Leigh Bardugo in Shadow and Bone
