And Let’s Appreciate The New Tattoo! Looks Like Birds Flying Out Of The Barbwire?

“You’re the girl who keeps me awake at night. The girl who makes me look out the window and count the stars in the sky. I not only count them. I look for patterns. I look for shapes that match the freckles on your nose and under your eyes. ”

My Darling Arrow by Saffron A. Kent

SLEEPY HOLLOW, dir. Tim Burton (1999)

“From afar, Alex Winslow looked like nothing could penetrate his armor. But he was an artist—and an artist’s armor is full of bullets and cracks. That’s how the lyrics and notes seep through.”

Midnight Blue by L.J. Shen

This girl is my heaven.

With lips of an angel, the sweet

taste of mercy lingers. She has halos in her

eyes, and my heart beats to the sound of her wings.”

—Oliver Masters

Stay With Me by Nicole Fiorina

I staggered backward, feeling like I’d just been punched in the gut. A combination of anger, jealousy, and sadness boiled in my blood.

“A toast!” I yelled, climbing onto a chair. On my way to the top, I stole someone’s beer and held it out in front of me. “To douche bags!” … “And to girls that break your heart.” …“And to the absolute fucking horror of losing your best friend because you were stupid enough to fall in love with her.”

Walking Disaster by Jamie McGuire

GABRIEL’S INFERNO (2020)

“I watch her face in the dying light of the evening. Count her freckles like I always do. A useless habit of mine, one I can’t break. One that makes me want to pull her down now and fuck her in the sand as I lick them.”

My Darling Arrow by Saffron A. Kent

“His personality, his mercurial eyes, his beautiful soul... he's a hum in my heart.”

The Revenge Pact by Ilsa Madden-Mills

“I didn’t see the funny, complex, tortured guy I wanted so badly to fix. All I saw was a broken prince with pleading eyes who was on the verge of tears. Man tears. Not angry or exasperated or annoyed. But real and sad and deep.”
