3 " [I]f you continue to rely on others for that security, you will never find it. You're a Prime, a woman, and a mother. Make yourself secure. Take charge of yourself. My circlework my be shaky and crooked, by it's mine. I taught myself how to do it by studying books and now I'm using it. I didn't ask Rogan to draw it for me, because I didn't have to. "

5 " When we were at the lodge, and you were dancing in the snow, I kept wondering why the snow wasn’t melting. You’re like spring. My spring. "
6 " Arabella ran out of blackboard space, crouched, and began dividing on the floor. “This is what we get for teaching them Common Core,” one of the arbiters said. “There is nothing wrong with Common Core,” someone else said. Arabella "
7 " When life hits you in the gut, it’s always a sucker punch. You never see it coming.

"
8 " There is nothing you can offer me,” she said. “Oh, I don’t know. You might change your mind. You’re like me, Victoria.” He grinned. “You like to do things that make life interesting. We both do so hate to be bored. "
9 " Prime or no Prime, five-year-old girls were scary. I babysat my sisters when they were that age. It still gave me nightmares. "

17 " So, are we still on tonight? For our dinner?” I asked.“Hell, yes. We’re on for tonight. We’re on for tomorrow. We’re on for the foreseeable future.”. "
18 " Cornelius opened the car door and cautiously peered out.“Yes?” I asked.“Checking to see if it’s safe to come out.”Everyone was a comedian. I sighed and went into my office. "
