1 " And every minute that goes by and Amber's not here, my heart breaks for him. "
― Elle Cosimano , Seasons of the Storm (Seasons of the Storm, #1)
2 " Julio rubs his eyes and watches the place where she disappeared down the sidewalk thirty-two minutes ago, as if by the sheer will of his longing, he can somehow bring her back "
3 " We've been hunted so long, we almost forgot what it feels like to be the hunters "
4 " It's hard to want to kill someone once they've saved your life "
5 " Crazy, huh? How the people we hurt-the ones we love the most-can be the hardest to face" - Amber "
6 " He pulls her against his chest. "I'm sorry you didn't have the chance to say goodbye to your mom."Her eyes shine with tears. "That wasn't the goodbye I regretted most "
7 " I look at Fleur. At Julio and Amber. And in them- in us- I see possibilities I haven't let myself see before. Together, we are the storm. "
8 " But the truth is, sometimes help doesn't come in time, and we have to find the strength to face what lies ahead on our own "
9 " No." I rake my hands through my hair, kicking at eth sand. "I am not starting a homeless shelter for lost Seasons. I'm not taking responsibility for that. "
10 " We're here, the four of us, together and alive, and the clouds above us part, making way for a sliver of sunlight "
11 " Plan?" I choke out a laugh. "What plan? There is no plan." My only plan was to run. To hide. "
12 " Julio sets his guitar in the man's lap, wrapping the strap around the man's shoulder... I fight the urge to pluck it out of his hands. To tell Julio we'll all take turns carrying it. It's hard to watch him walk away from the one thing he refused to part with. "
13 " Have you noticed any changes since you and Julio hooked up in the elevator? "
14 " I could join you. In your tent. If you want me to. Strictly for medicinal purposes "
15 " Julio may have been the one to dematerialize on that jail cell surveillance video, but Amber was the one left behind. And that hurts, too "
16 " Can we please get into the fucking car? "
17 " Fleur doesn't fear death the way most Seasons do. She does not fear her own pain as much as she fears teh suffering of those she loves "
18 " What we are is nature! We are forces that should never be tamed "
19 " And that," she says, leveling her cigarette at the cove, "was the most ridiculous tantrum ever "
20 " I never intended to lead an army. Never intended to take responsibility for the lives of these Seasons or their Handlers back at the Observatory. I never intended to fight. "
