“Will has always been the brighter burning star, the one to catch attention — but Jem is a steady flame, unwavering and honest. He could make you happy.”
“I'm a candle flame that sways in currents of air you can't see. You need to be the one who steadies me to burn.”
“Passion is the spark that ignites the flame of love; to burn brighter and hotter.”
“He has a fancy for always sitting in a pitch-dark room. He says it makes his thoughts brighter.”
