thinking about how Rhys not only watched his mate smile at him for the first time on Starfall but how she did so in the dress he’d kept safe for centuries because his Mum made it specifically for her to wear in that moment😭
“From that first day in his church, Jacks had wanted to watch her. He wanted to know what her voice sounded like, what her skin felt like. He’d followed her, listened to her prayer—hated her prayer. It had been one of the most god-awful prayers he’d ever heard. And yet even then he hadn’t been able to walk away. He wanted a piece of her. To keep her. To use her for later.”
THIS COMING FROM THE SAME MAN WHO SAID “i try not to think of you at all.” TO EVA. STOP. STOP IT RIGHT NOW.
