“Did you hotwire this car?" I then rephrased my question. "Did you STEAL this car?”

“Every relationship is different. Everyone loves differently.”

“Wow. What'd he do to deserve that? Rescue orphans from a burning building? If so, you might want to make sure he didn't set the building on fire in the first place.”

“It was a lame excuse, and I knew that wasn't the reason he was canceling. If he wanted to avoid me, I would have preferred he made up something about how he and the other guardians had to up Moroi security or practice top-secret ninja moves.”

“He shrugged. "The same as any other. It's a way to make people feel better about themselves. Everyone likes feeling special. Being part of an elite group is a way to do that."
"But you weren't part of it?"
"No need. I already know I'm special.”

“I used to think you were weak and just didn't fight back… but now, honestly, I think you're actually pretty tough. It takes a hell of a lot of strength to not complain and lash out.”

“Dimitri was on a first name basis with one of the most badass guardians around. Of course, Dimitri was pretty badass himself, so I shouldn’t have been surprised.”

“And so, surpassing my own records for dangerous, reckless behavior, I ripped off Sonya's bracelet.
"I'm Rose Hathaway.”

“Why on earth would you buy a car like this if you can't drive a stick? There are dozens of cars--new cars--that have automatic transmission. It'd be a million times easier."
Adrian shrugged. "I like the color. It matches my living room.”

“Jailbait," he declared, leaping up. "You're a saint. A goddess, even.”

“I sighed and gestured toward him. "I'll take him." In an undertone, I added, "Don't let me down, Zmey.”

“Dorian used to watch you like a starving man who wants meat. Now he looks at you like he wants seconds.”

“Theyʹre shooting at us,ʺ I said incredulously. ʺTheyʹre actually shooting at us!”

“You're strong—you're so, so strong. It's why I love you.”

“ʺWhy,ʺ he began slowly, ʺis Victor Dashkov joining us?ʺ
ʺWell, itʹs kind of a funny story…ʺ”

“We all screw up. Everyone makes mistakes. That’s what she did. It was bad judgment, that’s all. You don’t cut off the people you love for mistakes like that.”

“Look, Rose. You don't have to keep up with the hard-to-get thing. You already got me.”

“That's ridiculous." Especially the part about Christian being manly.”

“Blake smiled radiantly. ʺMay I call you Vasilisa?ʺ
ʺYou can call me Lissa.ʺ
ʺYou can also,ʺ added Christian, ʺlet go of her hand now.”

“There's a guy chasing me!" I called as I headed out the door.”

“I, had an excellent instructor. One that you currently have locked up. If you want to talk about skills going to waste, then go look in your own jail.”

“Adrian was easily distractible by wacky topics and shiny objects.”

“Was this all part of your plan as my lawyer? I don't recall explosive escapes being part of the legal training."
"Well, I'm sure it wasn't part of Damon Taru's legal training.”

“That's the kind of guy you'd follow to hell and back.”

“The three cards were the Moon, the Empress, and the Ace of Cups. Ambrose leaned over my shoulder to peer at the cards. "Ooh,' he said. "Very interesting."
Rhonda glanced up at him. "Hush. You don't know what you're talking about.”

“It's worth it. It's worth giving up the sun and magic.”

“Smiling, I cut across the quadrangle toward the commons. I felt better about life than I had in a very long time. We could do this, Lissa and me. We could do this together.”

“It was impossible to get the Dimitri and Tasha thing out of my head, but at least packing and getting ready made sure I didn't devote 100 percent of my brain power to him. More like 95 percent.”

“My life didnʹt need to be on the line for me to enjoy dessert.”
