"I have loved you all my life, Mal,"I whispered through my tears. "There is no end to our story."

"I don't care if you danced naked on the roof of the Little Palace with him. I love you, Alina, even the part of you that loved him."

"Mal snickered. "What's so funny?""I just pictured the Darkling being cornered by a sweaty duchess trying to have her way with him."

"You just punched a prince, Alina. I guess we can add one more act of treason to our list.”I shook out my sore hand. My knuckles smarted. “First of all, are we so sure he really is a prince? And second, you’re just jealous.”“Of course I’m jealous. I thought I was going to get to punch him. That isn’t the point."
