books i’ve read ; The Sea Witch by Rebecca F. Kenney
The sea flows through both of us, fills us, slips in and out of throats and gills, whispers in our ears. We are one with it, but it does not define us, because we are more than the sea, more than the air. He and I—we are something altogether beyond.
"We're going to rule this city together, Bernadette.
You and me, king and queen."

Only a villain can truly stop another villain.
There is no room in this world for heroes; they only get in the way.
