She does not know if it was love, or simply a reprieve.

Until Adeline wakes up.

“Dine with me,” Luc says as winter gives way to spring. “Dance with me,” he says as a new year begins. “Be with me,” he says, at last, as one decade slips into the next.

“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.”

I’m currently in the middle of reading this amazing book and I am completely hooked. The moment I read the scene where Addie first made her deal with the darkness (Luc) I just knew I had to draw this.

Because time is cruel to all, and crueler still to artists. Because visions weakens, and voices wither, and talent fades…. Because happiness is brief, and history is lasting, and in the end… everyone wants to be remembered.
