Rachel Hawkins Quote

Sophie, you saw Alice’s transformation.I nodded. And the murder of my great-grandfather. Weird it showed me that when I’ve had so many other awful things happen directly to me, I said, beginning to tick them off on my fingers. Elodie getting killed, having to kill Alice, escaping a burning building with the help of a ghost… And then, because both my parents looked so deflated, I added, Oh, and this really heinous pageboy haircut in sixth grade.A few wan smiles appeared, but I think it was just to humor me.Yes, but that was the act that was directly responsible for all of those other horrible events, Dad said. Well, except for the haircut. I suspect that can be laid at your mother’s door.James! Mom protested, but I swear I heard affection behind it. I think Dad did, too, because his lips quirked upward briefly.
