“How do you hate someone who pulled you from the brink of death, not once, but twice?”
A.G. Howard“It's great to have him watching my back without standing in my way.”
A.G. Howard“I am mad, and I embrace it.”
A.G. Howard“I know how to emulate crazy.”
A.G. Howard“The rabbit hole has collapsed, and my key is melded to a nugget of worthless metal.”
A.G. Howard“He stretches languorously under me, and the silvery scar on his abdomen catches the light, that telltale mark from Sister Two when he fought her inside Butterfly Threads just weeks ago. When he almost died to help me and Jeb escape. But I didn’t let him die, because I couldn’t imagine a world without him.I can’t imagine a future without him, either. Not anymore.”
A.G. Howard, Ensnared“Oh, I stand by that statement, little blossom. For you see, there’s the chance you will break down and come between the two of you. Every night we’re together, I will tempt you to the edge of madness. I will tease you to torments. You will have to earn Jebediah’s happy life by being strong and unbending, as all good queens should be. Though this night, I’m giving you a lull.”
A.G. Howard, Ensnared“He had you in his room?" A dark cloud crosses Jeb’s face. “Do you swear he didn’t try anything?”“Scout’s honor.”He squeezes my waist, tickling me. “Too bad you were never a Scout.”I squirm and smile. “Nothing happened.”That’s a lie. Morpheus got to me in a big way, showing me a side of myself I can hardly believe exists—one I’m not sure Jeb will be able to accept.”
A.G. Howard, Splintered“Hello, luv," he says through a thick curtain of blue hair. "Hope I'm...interrupting.”
A.G. Howard, Unhinged“He appears close to my age. The left half of his face stands out beneath the hood: one side of plump lips, one squared angle of a chin. Two coppery-colored eyes look back at me – bright and metallic. The sight makes me do a double take. As far as he is from the car, I shouldn’t be able to make out the color, yet they glimmer in the shadow of his cape, like pennies catching a flashlight’s glare in a deep well.”
A.G. Howard, RoseBlood“I don’t want to blend,” Etalon whispered. “I want to belong.”
