@rachvd: I want more. I need more. Abruptly, she pulls away. And just like that, her shield is back in place. It’s in the angle of her jaw, the stillness in her eyes, the way her shoulders square like she’s preparing to land a hit. So I do the only thing I can. I promptly peel my anger back over my own face, the comfortable, familiar rage that’s been with me so long, it makes moments like the last ones seem like they were never real in the first place. I let it flame until I no longer want to keep her close. It’s the only way we’re going to get through this unscathed. So easy to believe, the lies I tell myself. #romantasy #norsemythology @Red Tower Books #BookTok #authorlife edit by: @𝑴𝒊𝒎𝒊 | 𝑩𝒐𝒐𝒌𝒕𝒐𝒌
