Flashback (Keeper of the Lost Cities, #7) QUOTES

141 " and my dad is going to freak when he finds out you’re going to sprinkle ogre spores all over his precious stuff. Can I please be there when you do it? "

142 " BUSY! Silveny told her. BUSY! BUSY! Somehow Sophie doubted that a sparkly flying horse had all that hectic of a schedule. "

143 " Even Ro had no complaints, despite the definite presence of sparkles. She sprawled out on one of the chairs and worked her way through an entire tray of ripplefluffs. “Do I want to know how you found this place?” Sophie wondered as she finished off her third butterblast. “Of course you do,” Keefe told her. “But I never reveal my secrets. "

144 " But she had a feeling Grady would be going back to calling Keefe That Boy, "

145 " Tonight would’ve been . . . pretty rough if you hadn’t stopped by.” “I know,” he told her. “For me too.” “Awwwwwww, you guys are SO adorable,” Ro jumped in. “You want to talk about adorable,” Keefe snapped back. “I wrote another verse in The Ballad of Bo and Ro—and just think! Tomorrow, Foster finally gets to meet your long-lost love!” “Do not share that verse,” Ro warned, pretty much guaranteeing that Keefe would be chanting it to her for the rest of the night. But first she told Sophie, “Don’t tell him anything about me.” “Why not?” Sophie had to ask. “Because he doesn’t deserve to know.” Keefe leaned closer to Sophie, stage-whispering. “You realize it’s now your job to pester Bo for all the details Ro’s trying to hide from us.” Ro smirked. “Try it—Bo won’t tell you a thing.” “Wanna bet?” Keefe countered. “Bad idea,” Sophie told him. “You’ve won twice now—that means you’re pretty much guaranteed to lose. Especially since this bet relies on me again.” He grinned. “Exactly, Foster. You’re always the safe bet.” “Not this time,” Ro told him. “We doing this, then?” Keefe asked her. Ro folded her arms. “Fine. If I win, I get one guaranteed dare. I can tell you to do anything I want, and you have to do it.” Keefe raised one eyebrow. “Deal—but only if I get the same thing if I win.” Ro leaned into his face, flashing a deadly smile. “It’s on.” Sophie sighed, laying on the sarcasm nice and thick when she mumbled, “This can only end well. "

146 " If you’d been there, the only thing that’d be different right now is that Elwin would have another patient.” “And there’s no guarantee I would’ve saved you,” Tam added with a smirk. "

147 " Sophie would’ve traded all of her abilities to be a Vanisher right then—or for a nice tall cliff to jump off and teleport away. "

148 " Oh! It’s like a snickerdoodle.” “Okay, I don’t know what a snickerdoodle is or why anyone would want to eat something called that,” Ro said, hooking her arm around Elwin’s elbow and hauling him toward the door, “but she took her medicine and your three seconds are up. So out with you! My boy needs a good, long talking-to. "

149 " Perhaps you’d also like a little help with your hair?” “You’re offering to do my hair?” Sophie verified, reaching up to feel the tangled mess. “I’m an elf of many talents,” he told her. Shockingly enough, he wove her hair into the most intricate braid she’d ever seen. “Do I want to know why you know how to do this?” she asked. “Of course—but that’s a story for another day. For now, we should get that arm back into a sling. "

150 " I did,” Dex agreed, “and I had to promise to make the triplets all kinds of pranking elixirs in order to convince them to distract her for me—and I’m pretty sure they’re going to bring all of them to Foxfire, so good luck with that. "

151 " Oh, and brainstorming ways to punish Dex for not telling anyone where he was going. His mom had some particularly brutal ideas. Remind me never to get on Juline’s bad side.” “Dex’s parents were here?” “Only his mom. His dad stayed home with Rex, Bex, and Lex, probably so they couldn’t break everything.” “Good call.” Dex’s triplet siblings could cause more chaos in five minutes than a pack of saber-toothed tigers. "

152 " If I wanted to register for the match, how do I do it? Is there a process, or . . . ?” She had to stop there. Edaline looked like she wanted to grab her and hug her, while Grady looked like he wanted to haul her upstairs and lock her in her room, and she was definitely regretting bringing it up. "

153 " Progress, Prosperity, Permanence, and Proliferation,” Grady told her. “The goals of every match.” Sophie sighed. “Well, that’s romantic. "

― Shannon Messenger , Flashback (Keeper of the Lost Cities, #7)

154 " Okay,” Edaline said, hooking an arm around Sophie as Grady did the same on her other side. “Let’s get you registered!” Sophie could’ve sworn she’d heard Grady mumble, “Here we go again” under his breath as they headed up the path "

155 " A huge, goofy grin spread across her lips as both Sandor and Grizel flushed bright pink. “Oh my goodness—that’s the sweetest thing EVER!” Sandor groaned. “As if they don’t tease us about our relationship enough already!” “I’m not going to tease you,” Sophie promised. “But Keefe will,” Fitz jumped in. “And I’m sure he’s going to be here any second, so—” “Actually, Keefe said he wasn’t getting anywhere near you and a bunch of weapons right now,” Sophie told him. "

156 " so . . . we’ll need pockets. Why do clothes never have enough pockets? There should always be lots of pockets . . . the more pockets the better!” “Easy there, Foster,” Keefe said. “I think you’re sleep-scheming. Your eyes aren’t even open right now and you keep trailing off. Plus, you’re talking a lot about pockets. "

157 " Yeah, Keefe brought it up today—and be glad Silveny didn’t go with Keeferina and the Keefster.” Grady sighed. “That boy.” “He’s quite the character,” Mr. Forkle agreed, "

158 " So he built her a palace?” Grizel asked, glancing at Sandor. “Sounds like I should have Alden give you some pointers.” Sandor crossed his arms. “My home is more than adequate.” “Oh, ‘more than adequate.’ Now there’s an epic love poem if I’ve ever heard one,” Grizel retorted, "

159 " She’d started to reach for it when he added, “They’re kind of like what you’d get if you crossed a hedgehog, a kitten, and a really big cockroach.” Sophie jerked her hand away just in time to avoid the six spindly brown legs that emerged from the fur. “Okay, that’s just wrong,” she said, scooting as far as she could from the fluffy bug-of-doom. “Why would you want one of those?” “Aw, don’t listen to her,” Dex whispered to the tomple as he set it back on the table. “She doesn’t know what cute is—trust me.” He winked and Sophie felt her jaw fall, wondering when they’d reached a point where they could joke about that. "

160 " La vie est une succession de choix difficiles, Sophie. La seule solution, c'est de les affronter l'un après l'autre. "
