    All at once it seemed like too much of a betrayal to continue to pretend that his brother was delirious, hallucinating, not in his right mind. Lying when he was telling the truth. Maybe Kenzie was right-maybe secrets were more the problem than the solution. Maybe Kenzie was the only clearheaded person in that room.
    And yet-he couldn't supress a twinge of fear that if he told the truth, he'd never see Emma again. Never hear her music again. Their musical connection was the closest he'd ever come to slacking his thirst for a human touch.

  • Cinda Williams Chima Quote #10

  • Cinda Williams Chima Quote #13

    Han spotted a child?s homespun dolly in the ditch, pressed into the mud. He reined in, meaning to climb down and fetch it so he could clean it up for his little sister. Then he remembered that Mari was dead and had no need of dollies anymore.
    Grief was like that. It gradually faded into a dull ache, until some simple sight or sound or scent hit him like a hammer blow.

    History,' Mari muttered, as if she'd overheard his thoughts. 'Why do we need to know what happened before we were born?'

    I need to go to parties, Raisa mused, so I don't think so much.

  • Cinda Williams Chima Quote #20

    If he even survives. She shivered, and Amon put his arm around her, drawing her into his steady warmth.
    It's that bad?
    Raisa nodded. He looked...he looked awful, Amon. Willo doesn't know if he'll...She's worried about him. My mother died, and I never got to tell her that I loved her, that I finally understood - just a little anyway. If Han dies too, I don't know what I'll do.

    If someone grabs you in the street, hit hard and fast, because you may not get a second chance.

  • Cinda Williams Chima Quote #22

    Imagine what it's like to be (untouchable)
    Better not take a chance on me (untouchable)
    I'm the bad boy your mama told you about
    I'm dangerous, without a doubt
    Even coming off a ten-year drought
    Untouchable

    I'm the rose with hidden thorns (untouchable)
    Don't tell me that you haven't been warned (untouchable)
    I'm pretty poison under the skin,
    The bite of the apple that's a mortal sin
    In a game of love you'll never win
    Untouchable

    My reputation's fairly earned (untouchable)
    If you play with fire, you will get burned (untouchable)
    Stay out of the kitchen if you can't take the heat,
    My kisses are deadly as they are sweet,
    I'm a runaway bus on a dead-end street
    Untouchable

    Fools rush in, that's what they say(untouchable)
    But angels fall, too, most every day (untouchable)
    I'm the snake in the garden, the siren on the reef
    I have the face of a saint and the heart of a thief
    I'll promise you love! And bring you nothing but grief
    Untouchable

    Hearing Jonah sing like this was like watching him slice himself open and show off his insides. Why would he do that? Why would be write such a song?
    And then Emma answered her own question. Because good music always tells the truth, no matter how much it hurts.
    Emma couldn't be the only one who felt the bite of the blade, but everyone else seemed to take it in stride. Did they know? Did they all know about Jonah?
    Of course they did. They were there when it happened. They'd allow Jonah to keep the secrets that were most important to him. She knew she shouldn't resent that, but she still did. They must have known she was falling for him. They must have.

  • Cinda Williams Chima Quote #24

    Just tell me you don't love me, and I'll let the matter drop.
    What?
    What I said. Just say, 'Rai, I don't love you and I never will'. It's that simple.
    Raisa, this is getting us nowhere.
    Say it!

  • Cinda Williams Chima Quote #29

    Please, Kenzie, Jonah thought. Please, please, please back off from this. His life wasn't much, but it was all he had, this small safe space, walled in by secrets.

  • Cinda Williams Chima Quote #30

    Plus he was naturally lucky at cards. As Mam had always said, lucky at cards, or lucky at life. One or the other. Not both.
