"What's the first thing you want to do when we get out of here?" Eddie asks, breaking the silence. I think about it, quiet for a moment or two. I want so badly to say 'I want to kiss you. I want to make sure you're safe, that everyone is safe, and kiss you then and there knowing everything will be okay now. To hide you with me, the way that I hide. Where nobody will find you. And if someone tries, I'll protect you from them again and again. Just to be with you, and for you to know you are safe and loved.' Stupidly, I don't say any of that. "I don't know. I think I'd like to act like this all never happened." - Having been turned at such a young age meant growing up without guidance, without comfort, without a warm hand to hold. As much as I always longed for a friend, it was far too terrifying to open myself up to someone who I could never tell the full truth to. That is, until the last few weeks of my senior year. I thought that I would leave school having known no one, until a group of mismatched kids invite me to play a game with them. A problem only presents itself when I can't take my eyes off their Dungeon Master. - 🖤 COVER ART BY @ARTSACBI ON TUMBLR 🖤

"You know," Sage murmurs against my neck, his voice a little bashful, "my sister says hugs are the fastest way to make someone feel better." I let out a huff of breath and open my mouth to respond. But before I can reply, he adds softly. "You're one of the most amazing people I know. And no one, absolutely no one, should ever make you feel otherwise." I let my eyes close for a second, letting that settle in a place I didn't even realise had been empty. "Okay," I say quietly, pulling back just enough to see his face and then sinking deeper into his warmth, my hands curling into his jacket, clutching like I'm afraid he'll vanish if I let go. ────── ✦ She wasn't looking for love, just a little peace. He was not planning to fall, but when he met her, he realised that some falls don't hurt. They heal. ✦ ────── If you are a reader like me, someone who loves comfort books, pure love stories, and heathy relationships that feel real and safe then maybe this book is just perfect for you 🍂
