Clouds suit my mood just fine.

I’m so sorry. I am so sorry for everything.

She’s the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen, easily the most breathtaking girl in the room.

In the mirror, I look the same. But I am a different person inside.I am a prodigy who knows the truth. I know exactly what I’m going to do.

She’s pretty in a way that distracts me just like she did in the Skiz ring. No, pretty’s not the right word. Beautiful.

Sometimes, the sun sets earlier. Days don’t last forever, you know. But I’ll fight as hard as I can. I can promise you that.

The Republic’s most wanted criminal is just a boy, sitting before me, suddenly vulnerable, laying all his weaknesses out for me to see.

My heart is ripped open, shredded, leaking blood. I can’t let him leave like this. We’ve been through to much to turn into strangers.

Each day means a new twenty-four hours. Each day means everything’s possible again. You live in the moment, you die in the moment, you take it all one day at a time.

Forever and ever, kid, until you’re sick and tired of seeing me.

My wandering has led me to the beginning of our journey together. I suppose it’s only fitting for me to be here at that journey’s end.

I don’t want–to go–I don’t want–to leave you–Eden–

Stay safe. I want to see you again when all this is done.

June has never looked more beautiful than she does now, unadorned and honest, vulnerable yet invincible.

A monster? Worthless?”Too many times.

I’ve been searching a long time for something I think I lost. I felt like I found something when I saw you back there.

There’s no question that the Republic has done some horrible things to us all, that they might still be doing those things. But… maybe I’ve also been seeing the things I want to see. Maybe...

I am Adelina Amouteru, the phantoms whispered to my father, speaking my most frightening thoughts in a chorus of voices, dripping with hatred. My hatred. I belong to no one. On this night, I swear...

You led the soldiers right to my family’s door. You’re the reason they’re dead.

I turn even more flustered when I remember that I have actually pistol-whipped him in the face before. Romantic.

Love is illogical, love had consequences–I did this to myself, and I should be able to take it.

Time heals all wounds. But not this one. Not yet.

It means, Day, that you’re dying.

I’ve never thought of describing her beauty as delicate, because delicate just isn’t a word that fits June… but here, now that she’s sick, I realize just how fragile she can be.

If you want to rebel, rebel from inside the system.That’s much more powerful than rebelling outside the system.

No. I will never let you hurt Day like that. Not the way I’ve already hurt him.

You’re brilliant,”he says.”But you’re a fool to stay with someone like me.”I close my eyes at the touch of his hand.”Then we are both fools.

Through the whirlwind, I hear my father’s harsh whisper. I know who you really are. Who will ever want you, Adelina? My fury heightens. Everyone. They will cower at my feet, and I will make...

He’s right. I can’t deny it. I am the reason Day lost everything that matters to him.

When I see Kaede nod her head in Tess’s direction, I rise up from my crouch. This trot’s going to choose Tess. Oh, hell no. Not while I’m watching. Not if Kaede wants to live.

Day leans in toward me. He reaches up to touch my face. I can tell it still hurts him to use his fingers, and his nails are dark with dried blood. “You’re brilliant,” he says....

I felt like she was taking everything that mattered to me. I felt like she was taking away from you all the things that I didn’t have. That’s why I’m sorry. I’m sorry because you...

Sorry, always sorry. What in the world can you buy with an apology?

I find myself pausing to admire her face.For a brief moment, I’m lost to my surroundings.

He loved you.

Once upon a time, a girl had a father, a prince, a society of friends. Then they betrayed her, so she destroyed them all.

You should have taken me with you,” I whisper to him. Then I lean my head against his and begin to cry. In my mind, I make a silent promise to my brother’s killer.I will...

I laugh with him. I imagine mixing poison into his tea, then watching his face turn purple and anguished; I picture myself leaning over him, looking on patiently, with my chin resting in my hands,...

I want to run. To do what I always do, have always done, for the last five years of my life. Escape, flee into the shadows. But this time, I stand my ground. I’m tired...

Then I realize from the hollow sound of her gun’s click that her gun isn’t loaded. Apparently she just wants to slap me around with it.

Now, as we stand three feet apart and stare at each other, I feel the full distance that comes with spending so much time apart, a moment filled with the electricity of a first meeting...

I’m supposed to hate you for what you did, I think. But her eyes linger on me in a way that refuses to let me.

Metias is gone again. He is always gone.

He returns my smile. His teeth are beautiful, the loveliest I’ve seen so far on these streets.

Maybe his nightmare had been about me.

You risked an awful lot for someone you hardly know.’ I narrow my eyes. ‘THAT doesn’t say much about your character. Perhaps you should wait until someone’s about to be executed for a mistake YOU...

You threw everything away.”I bring a hand up to touch her face,to wipe the rain from her eyelashes.”Your entire life-your beliefs…Why would you do that for me?”June has never looked more beautiful than she does...

I keep my eyes closed as tightly as I can, but in my mind, everyone in the square looks like my father and they all have his voice. I hate you all. I imagine my...

Algo enegrece tu corazón, algo profundo y amargo. Se ha enconado dentro de ti durante años,nutrido y animado.Nunca he sentido nada igual.

I know you don’t love me that way. Don’t you think I know that by now? But you don’t know how I feel about you. No one does.””Tell me, then.””Day, you mean more to me...
