Holly Black Quote

Our eyes meet, and something dangerous sparks. I remind myself.Kiss me again, he says, drunk and foolish. Kiss me until I am sick of it.I feel those words, feel them like a kick to the stomach. He sees my expression and laughs, a sound full of mockery. I can’t tell which of us he’s laughing at.After a moment, his eyes flutter closed. His voice falls to a whisper, as though he’s talking to himself. If you’re the sickness, I suppose you can’t also be the cure.He drifts off to sleep, but I am wide awake.
