Kate, please. You have to focus. I’ve pulled up a stable point, love. Just slide your fingers over it and go. I’ll be right behind you. I promise. That promise is a lie in one sense, but hopefully, sh...
And I’m just thinking he doesn’t have the right to guilt-trip me about this when he says, I’m not out to make you feel bad. You were upset, and it’s only natural you’d seek out comfort. It’s just . ....
Kate has been in here every few days for the past eighteen months or so. Helped him behind the counter on many occasions. They flirt shamelessly with each other, and threaten to leave me and Amelia be...
Even though I can’t hear or see it from this distance, I know that Katherine and my younger self are currently having a brief, nearly silent squabble over who goes through the window first. I’d promis...

You ever heard that bit about don’t look a gift horse in the mouth?I’ve heard it. Although the Trojans would have fared better with Athens if they had ignored that advice. I had to look up that refere...
Where's Kiernan? I asked. He's with Brother Cyrus. Your turn.The blood drained from my face and I stepped back, toward the wall. One of the older women, Glory, had died from a heart attack the year be...
Well, I'm expecting great things from you, young man! Th-thank you, Brother Cyrus. As soon as he released my shoulders, I hurried over to the glass wall where Kiernan was sitting, frowning out at the...
Take that and go play. I don’t care if it takes a year. Get the boy out of your system and then get back here. We’ve got work to do. At the time, I thought Saul meant I needed to take some time to gro...
So why didn’t he vanish? Charlayne nods toward Kiernan. After Max took his key, he should have disappeared, right?I would have, Kiernan says, except someone was wise enough to give me a backup when I...
She doesn’t say anything for a few seconds. Are you sure, Kate? A year is a long time, especially at your age. True. It would be a shame for you to miss my first step. She rolls her eyes. You know wha...
One in particular catches my eye, because I’ve met him, and also his father. You’re kidding me? The little guy who came over on the boat last week? He's a baby! Okay, not a baby , and I guess it was o...

Miss Kate! Kiernan exclaimed, pointing. What happened to your toes? What? I glanced down, half expecting to see a leech or a cut or some other trauma, but there was nothing odd. What are you talking a...
Kiernan. I had a sudden memory of the small, scuffed-up shoe I’d seen just before I fell. He must have snatched the bracelet when the crowd gathered around me. If I managed to get out, I resolved to g...
Kiernan, the less you know, the better. You’re always telling me to just trust you and do what you’re asking, and I do— He snorts. When it suits you. Okay, but I do when it seems important. And this i...
Kiernan spins around nervously, eyes flicking between the door we just entered and one at the other end of the room. You forgot to mention the guards. , Pru!Why? You’ve got a gun. And Evie says your f...
Kiernan reaches to pull out my chair, but I beat him to it and then nudge the chair across from me out about six inches with my foot. He pulls it out the rest of the way and says, Thank you, dearest,...
