187 " Lou might not have been the only player on the board, but she was certainly the most critical. Only a fool wouldn’t recognize that. "
188 " And we won’t. We will return to Chateau le Blanc for Toulouse. For the wolves. Then we will raze that wretched castle to the ground with Morgane le Blanc and her Dames Blanches inside. This I promise you. "
189 " I want to know all your secrets.”“My secrets are ugly, Reid.”“Not to me. "
190 " But you owe no one unconditional love. Take it from someone who knows—when a person brings you more hurt than happiness, you’re allowed to let them go. You do not have to follow them into the dark. "
