43 " As subdued as the crowd seemed, the tempers wafting his way seethed with rage. The tides weren’t defeated. They were dry kindling, just waiting for a spark. "
44 " She sank to her knees and lifted her head. She had become so accustomed to the rippling blue tides closing her in, pressing down on her, but this sky was open . . . this night was infinite.She felt like she might fall upward forever, drifting into space. Floating across the stars. Sable had spoken of embers scattered across the roof of the universe. It was a good description. "
45 " Perfect? He’d never used that word until she’d appeared in his life. "
46 " Pain is such a pain, you know? It's very taxing. "
47 " I’m tired, Aria. I want peace.”“You want peace now that you have everything. "

53 " In all her life, her heart had never heart like this. Never. "
54 " Perry listened to the surf as their tempers drifted toward him, carrying disbelief and anxiousness and outrage. The silent roar of the Tides. "
55 " We all have the potential to do terrible things, Soren. But we also have the potential to overcome our mistakes. I don’t know . . . I need to believe that. What point is there otherwise? "
56 " I’ve made many enemies in my life, but I do think you’re my finest achievement. "
57 " Amazing. Three hundred years of segregation undone by a single girl. She must be as incredible as she looks. "
58 " We all have the potential to do terrible things. But we also have the potential to overcome our mistakes. What point is there otherwise? "
59 " She smelled incredible. Like violets and open fields under the sun. Her scent set his pulse racing. It was freedom. It was everything the cave wasn't. "
60 " Perry,s eyes fluttered open. "Don't think about him.""How can I not? How can you not?""You're here. I only want to think about you right now. "
