✨ My Favorite Line in the Book (and Why It Still Gives Me Chills)
Every author has one.
A line that arrived almost like a whisper - so quiet at first, you don’t realize it’s about to wreck you.
For me, that line came long before I was ready for it and still I just kept for myself:
“She had written every letter hoping someone would read between the silences.”
Even now, it gives me chills.
Because it’s not just about Runa.
It’s about all of us - those who’ve ever tried to say something without knowing how… and hoped someone would understand anyway.
It's one of those quotes that wasn't yet ready to be shared, but thought maybe this is the time.
🌓 Why This Line Matters
Runa doesn’t shout. She doesn’t demand to be seen.
Instead, she does what so many of us do: she writes. She puts her emotions on paper and folds it into quiet, careful offerings, praying someone might not just read her words, but feel them.
And maybe you’ve done that too.
Maybe you’ve:
Written the long text and never hit send.
Left a note that said more than it looked like.
Sat in silence, praying the right person would know what you meant without having to say it.
This line carries the emotional weight of Runa’s entire arc. It’s her loneliness, her bravery, her longing and the strength it takes to reach out at all.
🌙 The Emotional Core of Moons and Shadows
At its heart, this story isn’t just about magic and memory.
It’s about communication: what’s spoken and unspoken, hidden and revealed.
That one line?
It threads every chapter, every letter, every decision.
And it still gives me chills…because I know what it cost her to write those words.
If you’ve ever wondered if anyone sees the you that exists between the lines, this book will be a new friend.
