“When I first met you, you seemed easily categorized, Lux. Like one of my herbs. 'Nettles: a remedy for night sweats, fatigue, and releasing excess mucus.' I like things to be defined. It calms me, brings order to my life. So on your first visit, I thought, 'Lux Lysander: flighty, scared, we'll never see her again.' On your second visit, I thought, 'Sweet, a bit of a dreamer.' And now, on your third visit, it's clear I have to recalibrate once again."

The door to a long-abandoned room inside me that I hadn't even known existed until this minute began to open. Sweet, fresh air poured in.”

“Now I was defined by the only One who could ascribe definite, concrete, objective value to an object, the only One whose opinion wasn’t subjective and fleeting, the only One whose existence wasn’t slowly passing away, and the only One who wouldn’t ever let me down. His words had always been true; the only difference was that now I trusted them enough to build my life on them.”
