“They were close enough that he could feel the hurried beat of her heart. He could feel Charlotte’s indecision in every word she didn’t say and every move she didn’t make.

by Alan Bradley

““He promised her that he would give her everything, everything she wanted, as men in love always do. And she trusted him despite herself, as women in love always do.” ~ The White Queen (The Cousins’ War #1)
by Philippa Gregory (this is my re-read)

Seraphine mewed up in a ship for so long was an entirely different creature, but Sir Patrick had been anxious to return to London as soon as possible.” ~ The Lady of Secrets (The Dark Queen Saga #6)
