Music Quote by Marie Rutkoski
““For once he didn't stop himself. The pressure of song was too strong, the need for distraction too great. Then he found that the music caged behind his closed teeth was the melody Kestrel had played for him months ago. He felt the sensation of it, low and alive on his mouth. For a moment, he imagine it wasn't the melody that touched his lips, but Kestrel.””
