1 " The choice is not in what you do. The choice is in the why. "
― Emma Raveling , Billow (Ondine Quartet, #2)
2 " Finding what's true means letting go of the lies that control. "
3 " We used numbers and rigid systems to fit time into containers we could understand.But like Nexa said, it was immeasurable. A fluid river no logical structure could hold.A moment could have the power of years. And years could pass in a moment.The only thing that forever remained true about time was it never stopped moving forward. "
4 " Viens-tu du ciel profond ou sors-tu de l'abime O Beaute?" A smooth, male voice said. ~ Julian LeVeq "
5 " Are you —" I couldn't believe I was going to say this. "Are you actually going to miss me?" A wicked grin spread on his face. "Since you haven't beaten me yet, darling, it's more like I'll miss kicking your ass."Damn it. Walked right into that one.Raveling, Emma (2012-07-05). Billow (Ondine Quartet Book 2) (pp. 7-8).

6 " Please. I got this covered." Whatever. His hazel eyes, flecked with green, were tense. I kept my response cool. "So do I." Hardcore bullshit was the theme of the day.Raveling, Emma (2012-07-05). Billow (Ondine Quartet Book 2) (p. 8). Mandorla Publishing. Kindle Edition. "
7 " So you believe him?" "Of course." I tasted the vegetables and promptly decided not to do that again.Raveling, Emma (2012-07-05). Billow (Ondine Quartet Book 2) (p. 42). Mandorla Publishing. Kindle Edition. "
8 " He shared a few things he's concerned about." "Like what?" I met his gaze levelly. His brows furrowed. "You pursued an Aquidae alone in Lyondale." I made a mental note to drop-kick Ewan. "You've been having trouble sleeping." Make that a kick followed by an extended drive in my car. "And you've been using your magic a lot." A drive over the bumpiest mountain road I could find.Raveling, Emma (2012-07-05). Billow (Ondine Quartet Book 2) (p. 66). Mandorla Publishing. Kindle Edition. "
9 " We entered the lot and I headed for my car. Julian raised his hand. "No." "I want to make sure its locked up." "Believe me. Even if it weren't locked, that thing would still be here when you got back."Raveling, Emma (2012-07-05). Billow (Ondine Quartet Book 2) (p. 355). Mandorla Publishing. Kindle Edition. "
10 " Why don't you tell me what happened last night in Lyondale?" "Stop evading." "I'm not evading, dear." She dug into the bag for more chips. "You keep asking the wrong questions." "What question should I be asking?" "That's a question you need to ask yourself." I never realized how quickly a headache could surge to life until I met Nexa.Raveling, Emma (2012-07-05).

11 " Let us help.""You already did." My voice didn't betray anything. "Both of you helped plan this. You lent me thiscar. Aubrey put up the funds."He raised his brow. "Lending you this car doesn't count as helping. It was more like public service.If you drove your car, the noise would wake up all of Haverleau.""It's not that bad —""Yeah, if you want to be as obvious as a rhinoceros."I gave a pointed look at his lime-green coat and bright maroon sweater.Talk about burning my retinas. "Pot calling kettle."He glanced at himself. "It's seasonal. I look Christmasy. "
12 " The usual . Mother and father sitting in icy silence." Bitterness crept into his voice. "I almost choked on the amount of disapproval in the air."Raveling, Emma (2012-07-05). Billow (Ondine Quartet Book 2) (p. 6). Mandorla Publishing. Kindle Edition. "
