We are given to the great, for great purpose, to great ends. We are given to the grave, for grave purposes, to grave ends.

She was my destination. I was always on the way to Lena, even when I wasn't. Even when she wasn't on her way to me.

Coming into your powers can be a very confusing time. Perhaps there is a book on the subject. If you like, we can go see Marian. Yeah, right. Choices and Changes. A Modern Girl's Guide to Casting. My Mom Wants to Kill Me: A Self-Help Book For Teens.

Just as I lay back, she sat up. I sat up, and she flopped back down. Awkward. That was my every move when it came to her. Now we were both lying down, staring up at the blue sky.

And you couldn’t control who you loved, even if you wanted to. That had been Genevieve’s problem with Ethan Carter Wate. It had been Uncle Macon’s problem with Lila, Link’s with Ridley. Probably even Ridley’s with Link. Love was how all these knots started to unravel in the first place.
