Itโs true, and I was really hideous as a preteen. Tall and gawky. I used to bump my head into everything. Still do sometimes. (Kat) You are my daughter. (Acheron) Sure I am, I canโt imagine you ever being uncoordinated. (Kat) Oh, I assure you Iโve nailed quite a few signs with my forehead. Itโs a wonder โExitโ isnโt permanently imprinted right between my eyes. (Acheron)
Sherrilyn KenyonSimi, why did Acheron send you here? (Astrid) To protect you from Thanatos so that your sisters donโt get all freaky and destroy the world. Or something like that. I donโt know why all of you fear the end of the world. Itโs not so bad, really. At least then akriโs mama be free. Then she wouldnโt be so cranky at the Simi all the time. (Simi) Ashโs mother is still alive? (Zarek) Oh, akri get mad whenever I tell that. Bad Simi. I not talk anymore. I need food. (Simi)
Sherrilyn KenyonNow youโre thinking like me. A little eye-gouging, some slit nostrilsโฆI could seriously get into that. (Acheron)
Sherrilyn KenyonWhy do I constantly feel as if all of you are speaking a foreign language? What is โgrabbing a burger at the Hard Rockโ supposed to mean? (Julian) The Hard Rock Cafรฉ is a restaurant. (Grace) You eat at a place that advertises its food is hard as a rock? (Julian)
Sherrilyn KenyonI know what you are, Talon. You are the man I was born to love. The only man I was born to love.โ โIโm not a man. Not anymore.โ โYou are mine and I will not let you go without a fight.
Sherrilyn KenyonEveryone has a choice. (Kiara) No, princess, they donโt. Choices arenโt always up to us. Life and circumstances can shred even the stoutest soul. No matter how pure and untainted you think you are, I promise you that you, too, can be shoved into the darkness, just like we were. (Syn)
