Quote #4
Her voice dropped to a whisper. "Fourteen years ago I escaped from them with you like a treasure inside of me. I used to be so afraid they'd find us, but I… I'd started to believe we were safe." (3.1.51)
Mab doesn't like to think of her past life as the Druj Queen's pet. She wants to concentrate on the fact that she escaped with her baby, and that she left the Druj world behind once and for all. There's no point dwelling on bad memories, right?
Quote #5
Love was theirs alone, and it was why Mihai had helped a red-haired girl escape from Tajbel fourteen years ago with her belly full of child, and why he waited alone in this gray city, year after year, his mind on fire with hope. (3.2.18)
Poor Mihai is totally sprung on the Druj Queen, or at least on the human woman that she used to be. He'll wait centuries if it means that she'll slowly regain her memories of her human past… and of how she used to love him.
Quote #6
She stared at him, at his fangs, at the lips that she knew from some alien tangle of memories. But it wasn't her memory! She had never kissed this creature. She had never kissed anyone! "No," she lied, shrinking away from him. "I don't know you!" (3.5.7)
Esmé is having a weird and confusing day. First she wakes up with a blue eye, then her mom insists that they go on the run, and now this demon dude has showed up and she remembers kissing him. What in the world is going on?
