→ The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab
“So you see,” says Luc, “perhaps I win.” Addie shakes her head. “It is only chance,” she says. “I did not call.” He smiles, gaze falling to the ring against her skin. “I know your heart. I felt it falter.” “But I didn’t.” “No,” he says, the word nothing but a breath. “But I was tired of waiting.” “So you missed me,” she says with a smile, and there is the briefest glimpse in those green eyes. A fracture of light. “Life is long, and humans boring. You are better company.”
