• “The things that are the most precious to us are sometimes the most secret”

  Marcus

• “Someday you will know that the heart is not always as wise as it is strong.”

  Uncle Eddie

• “Kat had to wonder for a minute what that would feel like - homework and uniforms, walks home with nice boys offering to carry your bag. That was her life once. Almost. But Hale had gotten her kicked out of Colgan School, pulled her back into her own world, just like now he'd been pulled back into his.”

  Narrator
