Rick Riordan Quote

Hey. [Leo] squeezed her hand, though Hazel sensed nothing romantic in the gesture. Machines are designed to work.Uh, what?I figure the universe is basically like a machine. I don’t know who made it, if it was the Fates, or the gods, or capital-G God, or whatever. But it chugs along the way it’s supposed to most of the time. Sure, little pieces break and stuff goes haywire once in a while, but mostly . . . things happen for a reason. Like you and me meeting.Leo Valdez, Hazel marveled, you’re a philosopher.
