#rowan fall

I really need some friends who have read all of Josephine Angelini’s books :(

“But I’d rather have you alive than perfect. If anyone says differently, then they don’t really love you.” “And you do?” she asked, not sure why he would love her anymore. Rowan answered by opening up one of his memories to her. …She’s climbing down from the tree, muttering to herself, taking forever and making so much noise I have no idea how they’re not hearing this all the way in Salem. She kind of looks Iike an angry squirrel with all the red hair fluffing around her head and shoulders. Feisty little squirrel. She has to be the feistiest person in the world. I wonder what her world is like. I know it’s nothing like this. Last night, when the Woven killed that man beneath this tree,the look on her face was pure shock. She didn’t get hysterical, though. She was in shock all night,but she controlled it and found away to work through it. This morning she told a joke to make me feel better. She’s tough and funny and caring. Beautiful. And that ass. Don’t look at her ass, you idiot. It’s the same ass you’ve seen a million times, so just forget about it because the last thing you need is to start remembering what it feels like. She really isn’t Lillian, is she?She sort of is Lillian, though,in all the best ways. No,that’s wrong. I’m not looking for Lillian in Lily anymore, and I haven’t since we’ve been on the run. It’s strange, but I’m starting to wonder if it wasn’t Lillian I loved. Maybe what I loved was the Lily in Lillian. Oh, shit. I think I love Lily…

“But—I’m leaving.” Not without me.”

All I know is that you cut off all of my hair and dyed it who-knows-what-color, and you used your pee to do it.

Rowan hadn't seen Lillian in over a year — not since she broke his heart and killed his father in one fell swoop — so why would she pick today to just show up outside his favorite coffee shop, dressed in outlandish clothes and pretending she doesn't recognize him. Is she turning to Tristan now in some pathetic effort to drive them apart? Why insist her name is Lily? And where is her Willstone? Her wild claims of being from a parallel world are just crazy and pathetic...right?

Vedi, Rowan, è proprio questo il punto. Sia che tu te ne vada sia che tu resti qui, per me non cambierà niente. Io ti amerò per sempre.
