Veronica Roth
I hear footsteps and Four's hands wrap around my wrists. I let him pry my hands from my eyes. He encloses one of my hands perfectly between two of his. The warmth of his skin overwhelms the ache in my fingers from holding the bars. You all right? he asks, pressing our hands together. Yeah. He starts to laugh.
Veronica Roth
Did you just call me BEATRICE?
Veronica Roth
she’s not pretty, that word is too small. She is not like the girls I used to stare at, all bend and curve and softness. She is small but strong, and her bright eyes demand attention. Looking at her is like waking up.
Veronica Roth

Veronica Roth
