1 " I gotta say, I was really feeling the robe, but there's something about a girl in cartoon pajamas that does it for me. "
― Stacey O'Neale , Storm Born (Mortal Enchantment, #1)
2 " I wonder if I can get pizza in Avalon. "
3 " He smirked and sat up "Simmer down, Jelly Bean. "
4 " He pressed the blade of his sword into the ground. As he pulled his arm over his head for a stretch, a bead of sweat trickled down his neck and over a row of muscles on his stomach. I swallowed hard. The window's edge dug into my skin but I refused to move an inch. The tiny droplet disappeared into the waistband of his shorts. I had seen plenty of guys in gym class with their shirts off, but none of them looked like...that. He was physical perfection - a living work of art. I sat on my knees with my chin relaxed on my crossed arms, unable to look away."Enjoying the view?" he said, eyes suddenly on me. His chiseled face wore an overly confident grin. Clearly he was used to being admired.My cheeks burned.I stood, pretending to check out the scenery. "Not much to see."He raised an eyebrow, letting me know he knew I was full of crap. "
5 " Rowan was cocky, impatient, and downright infuriating. He winked and my stomach felt like a hundred dragonflies were doing summersaults. Nope, I refuse to be attracted to him. "
6 " You don’t need to say anything. I know I should’ve been more cautious. "
7 " Appearances are everything. "
8 " I’d waited my whole life for a friend like her. Someone who knew all about me. Someone who I didn’t have to pretend around. "
9 " ‟Let’s reunite our family. We’ll put the past behind us and rebuild the fire court together. "
10 " I don’t want you to use a glamour around me ever again. I like you exactly as you are, right now. "
11 " It was time to put away childish things and become the princess my court deserved. "
12 " The only way to stop this war is to find my father. "
13 " I need to show them that I’m not weak. That I am the future queen of the air court, and I don’t cower to anyone. "
14 " This is far from over. "
15 " Dad’s warning rang in my head. Someone I trusted would betray me. "
16 " ‟Partner, teacher, friend. You seem to fit in quite a few categories. "
17 " I don’t regret protecting you. Every second of our time together is precious to me. But my aunt was right. My duty is to my court. "
