i don't think anything or anyone could have stopped me from trying to put an end to it. if i had spilled even half of the secrets i was carrying, you would have all thought of me as mad. you're not to blame for that. i wanted you to know you're not alone in feeling the way that you do, so don't think you have to put on a brave face and try to hide it from me. i might not like some of what you say, but i told you — we're partners. i want all of you. not just the portions you think i want to see. and i'm getting annoyingly good at seeing through it, anyway.
my love doesn't come with conditions. that isn't really love at all. and just so you know — if i had known you would be harboring a monster in our future, i still would have kissed you that night. for someone who loves their reflection so much, you obviously don't know your worth in my eyes. the next time you doubt me, i'm going to push you into a very large, very prickly bush. will you still choose me then?
you're mad for marrying me and even more so for staying this long. but i suppose i'm a bit mad, too. so don't hide those parts of yourself from me, either. i know i ask a great deal of you, and i expect even more. but we are partners. and i want all of you as well.
i do love when you threaten me. i would choose you then and every other time after that.
true, marrying you might be the most insane thing i've done. and one of the best. i don't care about crowns and titles, but i care about you. i care about seeing your plans for ravka through. if this was a competition, though, you'd win the award. your unhealthy appetite for death-defying antics crowns you the victor of insanity. it's fortunate that you're so handsome, really. it balances everything out. let yourself enjoy that hard-earned compliment. once you try to use it against me, i'm going to deny ever saying it.
you're going to regret asking for it, but you're welcome to all of me. thorns and all.
i think you could do this on your own, if you had to. you're surrounded by grisha, and you're still as strong as any of us. but i'm glad that you chose me, anyway. even if that makes me selfish. maybe you'll have better luck with zoya tonight than you've had with me. her threats are infinitely more gruesome. and her heart is less soft than mine, especially when you're involved. if anyone can help you tame impossible beasts, it's our resident disciplinarian.
