    Summary

    “It’s funny.” Falin rubs her cheek. “People always said they like me because I’m gentle. Quiet. Selfless. But none of that was really true.” Her mouth pulls into a small smile. “Looking back, I think I was too scared to be anything else. Too scared to want anything that would be inconvenient for anyone else.” She smiles a little wider. “And that’s what everyone liked about me, in the end.”

    Marcille inhales sharply. “Falin—”

    “But now, I don’t care. As much, anyway. I like this. I like wanting things and being honest about it. I like being strong and scary sometimes.” She digs her nails into the back of her own neck, relishing the sting. “I think I like it more than I like being liked.”

    Summary

    How strange. One half of her wants to be loved with all-encompassing ferocity, to claim and be claimed and jealously guarded like a beloved treasure. The other half wants to be loved as an individual first and foremost, to have someone proudly champion her happiness and freedom above all. Most days, Falin can’t actually tell which is the vainglorious monster and which is the lonely human, which she should honor and which she needs to bury — but with Marcille, it doesn’t even matter. Because Marcille, wonderful Marcille — she satisfies both so fully and readily without ever being asked. Without ever knowing what an impossible thing she’s done, as always.
