21 " Love is a rebellious bird that nobody can tame.He looked up, meeting her eyes. 'I'm called Peregrine. Like the falcon. People call me Perry.'She smiled. 'We're alike, Perry. My voice is called a falcon soprano.'His hand brushed past her cheek and slid into her hair. 'We're the same, Aria. "

22 " Ideals belong in a world only the wise man can understand," Marron said quietly. "
23 " You know, glass is pretty easy to break, Aria." Roar was watching here, his gaze thoughtful. "
24 " Love is a rebellious bird that nobody can tame[...] I think the bird is the connection between us... I'd do anything for him. "
25 " Listen closely...this is the most important thing you need to know while you're here. Do not eat the haddock. They've been overcooking it terribly. "
26 " You broke me in half when you left. "
27 " It was a message from her. A reminder—here among hundreds of people—of a moment that had been theirs alone. "
28 " She could look at him forever. She could spend her life watching him just blink and breathe that near to her. "
29 " We lose and lose, but we're still here. Shaking in place, afraid of doing something. I'm tires of settling for this because I don't know if something better exists. It has to. What point is there otherwise? I can do something about it. And I will. "
30 " Perry's hand settled on her hip, his grip firm. She felt his kiss settle intosomething deeper as his mouth moved with more urgency over hers. Suddenly there wasmore heat between them... "
31 " He's so unlucky it's almost lucky." Gren said."It's like he has reverse luck.""He's reverse good-looking, too." said Hyde"I'm going to reverse punch you," Strag said to his brother. "That was revers smart, man. it means you're goingto punch yourself. "
32 " I followed a hunch,” she said. “I had to—and I was right. "
33 " They'd taken their greatest strength and hidden it like a weakness."Should we try this again?" he asked.Aria smiled. "The right way," she said, and wove her fingers through his. "Together. "
34 " Aria dropped her satchel against the wall and glanced at the front door, smiling at a sound beyond the reach of his ears. A second later, Roar blew into the house in a dark flash.'Finally!' he bellowed. He wrapped Aria into a big hug, lifting her off the ground. 'What took you so long? Don't answer that." He glanced at Perry. "I think I know. "
35 " He lay down, gathering her close. Aria slumped against him, turning her ear to his chest. She listened to his heartbeat - a good, solid sound - as the warmth of his body melted into her. She'd been in a fog earlier. Hallucinating and searching for what was real. She found it in him. He was real. "
36 " Un buen sueño era algo a lo que te aferrabas hasta el último momento antes de despertar. "
37 " Then he glanced at Roar, who waited on the dock. Maverick had never heard him speak a word. He’d only seen Roar stare vacantly at the water, or at the sky. “You know, you could do a lot better than him, ladybug.” Aria shook her head. “No. I couldn’t. "
38 " Leaving is never easy. "
39 " Snake eyes again. Damn dice,” Straggler said. He lifted the cup to reveal two ones on the table.Hyde smirked. “Strag, I didn’t think it was possible to be as unlucky as you are.”“He’s so unlucky it’s almost lucky,” Gren said. “It’s like he has reverse luck.”“He’s reverse good-looking, too,” said Hyde.“I’m going to reverse punch you,” Strag said to his brother.“That was reverse smart, man. It means you’re going to punch yourself. "
40 " The Aether flowed, corded and angry, giving the night a blue, marbled glow. After the storm, the calm skies had only held for a day. Now there was little difference between day and night anymore. Days were darkened by clouds and the blue cast of Aether. Nights were brightened by the same. They flowed together, the edges blurring into an endless day. An ever night. "
