“Come on, let's get you to bed.' I lean in and kiss the scar on his eyebrow. 'It will be tomorrow when you wake up.'

'I don't deserve you.' His arm curls around my hips and he tugs me closer. 'But I'm going to keep you all the same.'

'Good.' I lean in and brush my lips over his. 'Because I think I'm in love with you.' My heart beats erratically, and panic claws up my rib cage. I shouldn't have said it.

His eyes flare wide and his arms tighten around me. 'You think? Or you know?'

Be brave.

Even if he doesn't feel the same, at least I will have spoken my truth. 'I know. I'm so wildly in love with you that I can't imagine what my life would even look like without you in it. And I probably shouldn't have said that, but if we're doing this, then we're starting from a place of complete honesty.'

He crushes his mouth to mine and pulls me fully into his lap so I'm straddling him. He kisses me so deep that I lose myself in it, in him.”

Noora Ahmed Alsuwaidi
“To understand and do all, or most, of your responsibilities, is an act that requires ‎a strong will, an understanding heart, a giving soul, and a responsible mind. Those who feel the responsibility ‎towards their families, education, work environment, other people, and earth, are the ones who ‎help this world to stand on its feet and reach better future by God's will.‎
It is a skill that requires both true will and balance in life, and it is a necessary skill that should ‎be taught to children and teens gradually as they are the ones who are going to take care of ‎this world in the future.‎”
Noora Ahmed Alsuwaidi

“You're going to freeze out there.'

'I'll be fine.' I drop to my knees and locate the missing dagger, hauling it out by the strap of the sheath before standing again.

'Here.' Xaden throws one of his flight jackets over me, trapping my hair. ... 'I can't stand the thought of you being cold.”
Rebecca Yarros, Fourth Wing

“Did you get enough to drink? Or eat?'

'... You don't have to worry about me.'

Luigina Sgarro
“Può accadere che le persone delle quali ci prendevamo cura ci manchino più di quelle che si prendevano cura di noi, perché il desiderio di amare e la ricerca di senso sono più forti del desiderio di essere amati.”
Luigina Sgarro
