static equilibrium

The imagery this writer creates and the way she describes the nature of Daniel and Vala’s relationship is truly beautiful. Every sentence seems perfectly crafted with another poetic observation of their push and pull with each other.

Favourite part:

“But he can’t do that to her; that’s how they work. They mirror each other; his spiked insults to her cutting snark, and her openness to his sincerity. They meet each other where they’re at, broken people who find comfort in each other’s jagged edges. How could he cut her when she doesn’t remember how to hold the knife?”
