He leaned toward her — her heart spun again — and pressed his cheek against hers. His lips didn’t touch her skin, but she felt his breath, hot and uneven, on her face. His fingers splayed on either side of her spine. Her lips were so close to his jaw that she felt his hint of stubble at the end of them. It was mint and memories and the past and the future and she felt as if she’d done this before and already she longed to do it again.

“I don’t know, Adam! You’re asking me to define an abstract concept that no one has managed to explain since time began. You sort of sprang it on me,” Gansey said. “Why do we breathe air?

Oh, help, she thought. Help, help, help. He pulled away. He said, “And now we never speak of it again.”
“And that’s it? It’s that simple?”

Blue Sargent had forgotten how many times she’d been told that she would kill her true love.
